Warrington Collegiate: Evil Dead The Musical – Review
As most of you know, I was dragged up on theatre in the West End and although I’ve not seen many amateur productions I’ve always been a little bit snobby about them and given them a wide birth.

@Wickedlondon: Ashleigh Gray you’re a spiffy Elphie!
