Introducing: The Cambridge First All-Ladies Fire Brigade

in Uncategorized on 03/29/25

Girton College Fire Brigade, 1878

It’s here! Our first showcase of 15 minutes from “The Cambridge First All-Ladies Fire Brigade” and you can watch it on YouTube to your heart’s content!

It features superb performances from Elexi Walker, Courtney Stapleton, Elena Pitsiaeli, Maddison Bulleyment and Rosie Coles, with Alex Beetschen as MD, all hosted by the brilliant Birmingham Hippodrome Musical Theatre Writers Group.

We’re also unbelievable excited to announce that our writing team – Jenni Pinnock, Brian Mackenwells and myself – are still being supported by Birmingham Hippodrome to develop the show, and have just found out we’ve been selected as part of the next Lincoln Arts Centre “Innovate Artists” cohort!

More than 2,000 primary school kids from Sussex stomped their feet, clapped their hands and sang about flying reindeer and the Northern Lights during December… 

…and now YOU can sing it too! 

Lucy has all sorts of arrangements ready for primary school choir, mixed adult/children’s choir, with small musical ensemble or just piano. Email me if you’re interested and I can share all the options with you.
