Southampton Musical Society are also busy rehearsing in Woolston. Sam Hussey from the Society’s committee said: “In 2017 Southampton Musical Society will be celebrating 90 years since its formation, and we're absolutely thrilled to be back performing at the Mayflower for the first time since we did South Pacific there in 1999! We're looking forward to revisiting a number we've recently performed in one of our compilation shows, in between rehearsing for our upcoming show, Made in Dagenham, and preparing for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. The Celebration Proms is shaping up to be a fantastic evening of entertainment which we're very proud to be part of.”

Southampton Celebration Proms, on January 29, is set to be an uplifting evening of music from across the city to raise funds for Mayflower’s Youth Theatre Programme, Engage.
