be performed at the Unión Musical
in Gata from 25th-30th March 2019.
Director, Cherry Cabban, is thrilled

Director and Graciela Kaplan as the
Choreographer. The latter used to
be a professional dancer with the
Northern Ballet”. Aileen has been

cast, with or without a cockney accent,

the irascible Henry Higgins by Roger
Brown – you may remember him
singing in Our Man in Havana and
Colonel Pickering by Robin Baxter.
