“We’ve been doing rehearsals since the beginning of August, so for about three months now,” she told the Centralian Advocate.

“Then we’re into a month of performances.

“There’s been three rehearsals a week for those three months, each for a couple of hours.

“The crowd can expect to see pretty much what you’d expect, with just a little bit of a twist.

“Steve Kidd, our director, likes to put his own bent on things.

“You’re going to see all the songs you want, Hand Jive, Hopelessly Devoted to You, You’re the One That I Want, and Summer Nights of course.”

Michelle Fleming will take on the role of Danny Zuko while Maali Kidd will become Sandra Dee for the month of November.
