"A FIRST CLASS TICKET" was how The Chelmsford Weekly News described this feel-good Parker
& Thompson Musical, The Railway Children after it's premiere by The Young Generation ( pictured right) in 2007.
Adapted from the Edith Nesbit classic by Judy Parker with music and lyrics by Brian Thompson
The production took to the tracks again in April and arrived at a Mytholmroyd Station in Yorkshire for it's North
of England Premiere by the very talent St Michael's Amateur Musical Society
who went full steam ahead from April 29th to May 2nd. 2009. And what an occasion it was.
"A TREAT FOR ALL THE FAMILY" said the Halifax Evening Courier. Produced by Felicity Dargen-Bell, Choreograped by Elizabeth
Wrathall with Musical Direction by Edward Hever. In the words of the Railway Children Anthem.
"We'll not forget them, they'll stay remembered, this message we impart.
The Railway Children, that's what we call them.
Those little children, with such brave, brave hearts."
Edith Nesbit's heart warming story powers away from the first whistle with a lively tongue twisting
opening number The Very, Very Song, and continues a pace with sixteen catchy and memorable original songs. Fun, foot tapping
numbers: Cheer Up, Day Out, A World Made For Children, Charity, I'm Perks, plus a few tearjerkers too: The Railway Children
Anthem, We Never Dreamed That Such A Thing Could Happen, We Have a Secret and many more.
