Barton Village Institute – Saturday 5 November 2022
5*****
So the life of a reviewer is often busy, seeing very different shows sometimes on the same day sometimes with hours of each other. Whilst my previous review had been to Sunderland Empire to review the mighty Les Mis, today I was in a local village hall reviewing the Scouts.
And what a show it was! Packed full of dancing, acting and comedy. From the very youngest 6 year old up to the very dedicated leaders this was full of fun. The young people had learnt a lot of choreography and showed off their skills with aplomb. It would be cruel to pick out a favourite moment but I did enjoy a sassy crab and the leaders versus young people in the Tik Tok Dance Off.
A lot of hard work went into this show, not just the epic performances but behind the scenes too with the costumes, music, staging, fabulous props (a very comedic iceberg lettuce) and the previously mentioned choreography
You’ve missed your chance to see Barton’s Gang Show this year but please support Scouting in your local area and watch out for Barton’s next show too
