Waihi Drama hopes to be flushed with success when it presents the musical fundraiser All Together Now! in Mid-November.

Proceeds will go towards installing disabled toilets at The Theatre in Boyd Road.

Theatre-goers will enjoy a huge variety of music from Broadway shows including Rent, Les Miserables, My Fair Lady, Matilda, Hairspray, Fiddler on the Roof, and Mamma Mia!

At the helm is internationally experienced musical director and vocal coach Edwin Randell, who was impressed with the calibre of auditionees.

'We truly have some great voices within our community. We now have a fantastic cast that are raring to get stuck into rehearsals.”

New to the Waihi stage, Isabella Howells will be performing "Middle Of A Moment" from James and The Giant Peach.

She recently moved to Whangamata from Cambridge and is very excited to be part of a show being performed in 44 different countries and territories.

'It's a huge global event with some really famous songs.”

Nineteen-year-old Jackson Pool is excited to secure a song from Les Miserables.

Jackson is a well experienced tenor singer who has singing deep in his genetics.

'My great aunt was an opera singer as was my great great-uncle, Richard van Helvoirt-pel,” says Jackson.
