However, like the winter panto production, there were no ill effects from the two-year delay.

A Young Portonians spokesperson said: “Fun, energetic, action-packed and full of comedy. A stunning medley of 80’s hits. We had the ‘time of our life. Congratulations

Young Portonians, the spring musical has been a five star smash.

"We’d like to take this opportunity to thank our amazing cast and young talent for putting together another sell-out performance.”
