One of the most difficuilt things the production team had to do or this show was choosing the programme. The sixties gave us such as wealth of popular music, where do you start? Despite the lack of any Cliff Richards songs (He was my favourite, so I can't forgive them!) the programme was very well balanced and was greatly enjoyed by the cast and the audience, many of whom expressed their enjoyment by joining in the songs, clapping and dancing.

The concert had a mixture of solos, duets, group and chorus singing, with the chorus providing some excellent harmony numbers. The beach Boys medley was a highlight as were many of the solos, particularly in the second act. The show moved along at a good pace and the music was well balanced sp we heard every word. The stage was attractively dressed with some appropriate and well chosen film projected at the back, (including a picture of Cliff, so partially forgiven) The narration had been well thought out. It was ammusing and interesting, filling the audience in with the news of the time and delivered very professionally by the two DJs, Hugh Chudley and Craig Butler. The concert ended with the company singing The Rhythm of Life from 'Sweet Charity'. This had been superbly choreographed and was a fitting end to a most enjoyable evening.
