IT was CODYS first performance at the Brindley this week and it seemed to go down a storm with audiences.

I went along on Saturday and what a night it was for the audience and members of the CODYS youth theatre group!

There were stunning performances all round. I was particularly impressed with a wonderful tear-jerking rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow and I thought that there was also great choreography in the Grease section of the show.

The group members performed so well, as there was no conductor, yet they all came in on cue, and all sang together as one, great timing, and some members so very young.

What hope they give to all theatre-lovers, as the next generation are so enthusiastic and obviously love to perform!
