Show Synopsis:
Elle Woods has it all: style, sparkle, and a deep belief that pink is a neutral. But when her boyfriend dumps her for someone “more serious,” Elle decides the most logical solution is… Harvard Law School.
Swapping the California sun for casebooks and classrooms, Elle sets out to prove that brilliant things happen when you trust your instincts (and choose your accessories) wisely.
Packed with big songs, bold characters and plenty of ‘bend‑and‑snap’ moments, Legally Blonde is a joyful celebration of confidence, kindness and discovering your own power.
Come and see the cast of Melksham Music and Drama sprinkle their signature charm, humour and community spirit all over this iconic musical, delivering a fabulously fun, feel‑good show with plenty of heart.

Show Synopsis:
Written by our very own MMAD member, Dawn Cox, this original panto Flo White and the Beastly Baron, is a joyful, joke‑packed family pantomime bursting with comedy, chaos and community spirit. When the villainous Baron Von Sly tries to take over the village, Flo White, her loyal (and delightfully quirky) staff, and a very reluctant Fairy Godmother must outwit him in a riotous adventure filled with music, magic and mayhem.
True to MMAD’s much‑loved panto tradition, this show brings together our regular cast of familiar faces to bring you a show that is full of heart, silliness, good humour and that unmistakable MMAD charm.
Expect big laughs, playful surprises, plenty of audience interaction and a warm, family‑friendly atmosphere that makes every performance feel like a community celebration.
