Cricket Theatre’s Backup Is Wonderful By Clara Kennedy
|
LIVERPOOL (2 December)—The Cricket Theatre’s first production, Backup, opened last night to a full house. Theatregoers were clearly delighted by this new musical, which is based on a true story. Backup follows Babette Jones, a young backup singer for famous musical acts, through her 23-year struggle to become a successful solo act. Liverpool native Tami McClure, as Ms. Jones, thrilled the audience with her wide-ranging vocals. Paul Robinson, who played her fearless manager, also put in a_ strong performance. Costume designer Sophie Wright’s fashions were exquisite.
Backup’s strong production values and the Cricket Theatre’s reasonable ticket prices point to a long and successful future for this new theatre. Backup runs until 5 February at the Cricket Theatre.

Today I visited the new Stellar Chocolates shop that opened a few weeks ago in the former mill, expecting to see an ordinary candy store. What a surprise! I was delighted to taste some free samples while watching the chocolates being made by hand. I even had a chance to chat with one of the owners, who told me about the origin of their business. She met her co-owner ten years ago in a class at university, and they came up with the business idea for an assignment. They got such positive comments from their professor and fellow students that they decided to turn their idea into a career project. I look forward to many future visits, as the shop is just around the corner from my home.
