WREXHAM Music and Theatre Society returned to the stage in front of a sell out crowd with their first musical in 17 years.

The society made a bold statement with their first musical production in 17 years on Saturday (June 1).

Their production of contemporary off-Broadway hit 'The Mad Ones' played to a sold out audience at Grove Park Theatre.

Gemma Williams, Trustee of WMTS, said: "For our first show in 17 years, we couldn't have hoped for better.

"With a full theatre, an electric atmosphere and such talented cast, musicians and crew, it really was a night to remember and hopefully one that kicks off a new legacy for WMTS".

The cast of four featured Catrin Street-Madox, Ashlea Allen, Becca Butler and Adam Hodges, who are all regular performers within the Wrexham arts scene.

Callum Thompson, who had previously been involved for a production of The Mad Ones in Birmingham, led the musicians on Keyboard, with Wrexham Symphony Orchestra principal violinist Mark Lansom on violin, Angharad Huw on harp and Jack Taylor on guitar.

The Mad Ones is a one-act musical telling the story of Samantha Brown, balanced on the edge of her future, car keys in hand. As she sits in the driver's seat, she faces a choice: will she follow in her mother's footsteps, or take the dare of her impetuous best friend and chart a new path?

The next production will be 'Roles Reversed 2', a Pride pre-party on July 26 at the Wrexham Lager Club.

Tickets for Roles Reversed 2 are available on WMTS' website: wmts.wales
