DAODS RETURN TO THE BIG STAGE

by DLiving | Mar 15, 2024 | Dartford Entertainment

Following the closure of the Orchard Theatre due to RAAC, Dartford Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society were unable to put on their much-anticipated performance of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

DAODS usually perform a large-scale musical production at the Orchard Theatre every April and October, so following the disappointment last Autumn, we are delighted to announce that DAODS are returning to the big stage at Orchard West this April with a musical revue show Curtain Up!

DAODS – Curtain Up – A Night at the Musicals

Wed 17 – Sat 20 April

Embark on a magical journey through Broadway/West End greatest hits.

From timeless classics to contemporary showstoppers, experience the enchantment of the stage as we celebrate the heart and soul of musical theatre.

Get ready for a night of nostalgia, joy and the magic that makes musical theatre unforgettable.

Please note the gallery images are from a previous production.
