Co-directed by the seasoned duo Charlie Murray and Kevin Hussey, this year’s show brings together the very best of Longford’s local talent. Chloe Brady takes the helm as choreographer with flair and precision, while the comedy sketches, directed by Kim Creevy Finnan and Triona Fitzgerald, guarantee plenty of laughter and surprises along the way.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to bring Here We Go Again to the stage,” said Charlie Murray, Chairperson and Co-Director of Longford Variety Group. “Each year, the passion, talent, and teamwork of everyone involved, from our youngest performers to our seasoned cast and crew, continues to amaze me. This show is a true celebration of community spirit, creativity, and togetherness. We’re especially proud to include a sensory-friendly matinee this year, ensuring that everyone in our community has the chance to share in the joy of live performance.”
Audiences will be treated to spectacular performances from the Peelo School of Dance, and a heartwarming choral performance by the Killoe National School Choir. The O’Reilly Bransfield Dance School also joins the cast, adding their own sparkle to the evening.
Highlights include unforgettable scenes from "Meatloaf: The Musical" and "Shrek: The Musical", along with special guest appearances by Peter Costello and Aisling O’Reilly. And back by popular demand, Ryan O’Connor.
