Broadway School of Performing Arts will be taking their latest original musical, 'BLUEBIRD', on a mini tour, which hits The Masque Theatre, Barton Seagrave on Saturday, November 22.

Gareth Peter Dicks, the musical’s composer and the school’s artistic director, has created the WW2 love story which is a dramatic and passionate one act musical that promises to pack a punch.

Although only 90 minutes in length, this theatrical telling of life in war torn Britain strikes a familiar chord with today.  The story, set in 1940s London, is about normal people, changed and affected by events out of their control.  Bluebird’s heartbreaking story, spans the whole six years of the war, and tells of a young nurse, Roberta Jones, as she sees her husband called up to fight and her daughter evacuated to the country.

Based on real life accounts, Bluebird, tells an honest account of life at that time.

To many this period seems pure fantasy, but to others the reality is strong; close-knit societies of people fighting for their country and a nation joined as one, now 

Bluebird is a dramatic musical telling of normal people separated by war. Told through music, word and film, it is sure to touch the heart of anyone who has ever been in love of knows what its like to doing something for your country.
