Fair is Rose as bright May day	Every day, as the days roll on (Zorah)	He ruthlessly employed in persecuting witches (Dame Hannah with bridesmaids)	And on the day he said that say, in agony he died! (Dame Hannah)
They eat peas with a knife!	Now tell me pray, and tell me true (Robin and Rose Maybud)	Poor little man! Poor little maid!	From the briny sea comes young Richard, all victorious!
Embraces his bride (Finale Act 1)	I am the spectre of the late Sir Roderic Murgatroyd)	We were the victims of circumstances! (Sir Despard and Mad Margaret)	The international curtain call!

Please note that the bulk of the images were taken during the dress rehearsal - the photographer was in the production!
