AFTER the success of Scrooge - the Musical in November, Hereford Amateur Operatic Society is busy rehearsing its next production, The King and I, which will be performed at the Courtyard Theatre from April 23-May 1.

A dazzling blend of eastern and western elements, the show boasts an array of memorable tunes including Hello, Young Lovers and, of course, Shall We Dance?

Also in evidence will be HAOS's Youth Group, whose talented dancers will be performing in the famous ballet - The Small House of Uncle Thomas.

Tickets are available from the Courtyard Theatre (01432 359252) from next Monday (March 29).
