More than 100 youngsters will take to the stage in the 36th all-singing and dancing St Albans Gang Show.

Show producer, Hermione Drew, said she has “stretched” the cast of youngsters from groups from across the St Albans Scout movement.

The show will feature complex dance routines, comedy sketches and spine-tingling singing - ranging from current chart hits to swing classics from the 1940s - when it plays The Alban Arena next month.

It’s 13-year-old Cian’s second year in the cast. He said: "Rehearsals have been going really well, with a few tricky bits, but I think this year will be really good as there is some great music in it."

Last year’s production won the highly-coveted award for the Best Overall Production in the St Albans District from NODA – the National Operatic and Dramatic Association.

Anna, 11, is taking part for the first time: “I really have liked doing all the different things – singing, dancing and making new friends.”

The show runs from February 11 through until February 14. To buy tickets or for more information visit www.stalbansgangshow.com
