Their spirited clash of cultures, wills and worldviews makes for a story filled with drama, humour, romance and some of the most unforgettable songs ever written for the stage. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering it for the first time, this is the perfect way to start your Thursday morning — settle in, relax, and let the music transport you! 📅 Thursday 12th March 🕤 9:30am – Early Screening 📍 Horsham U3A, Old Railway Station All members are warmly welcome.
