The cast of Footrot Flats – A Stage Musical range in age from 12 to those in their 70s.

The cast of Footrot Flats – A Stage Musical range in age from 12 to those in their 70s.

Gathering a cast to play 18 characters has been a big undertaking for director Michelle Cliff, but Te Puke Repertory says it is thrilled to introduce the cast of Footrot Flats — A Stage Musical.

Based on the characters created by Murray Ball, book by Roger Hall, music by Philip Norman and lyrics by A.K. Grant, the show is full of original music and follows the age-old dilemma of town versus country.

Local musician Cindy Hill-Rennie has taken on the show’s musical direction and Footrot Flats promises to be a real crowd-pleaser.

Theatre stalwarts are joined by bright-eyed newbies ready to try out the stage at the Litt Park Theatre.

Actors range in age from 12 to those in their 70s. Te Puke Repertory says it is wonderful to have families involved in the cast and crew of the show.
