00:10 Are you longing for the summer holidays?
00:12 Well, this season has been brought early as IVRs are putting on the iconic spash hit production
00:19 an all-singing, all-dancing show, Summer Holiday at the Redgrave Theatre.
00:23 And in the week leading up to International Happiness Day, what could be better than a summer holiday?
00:30 Let's chat to IVR's team to find out more.
00:33 We're at the Redgrave Theatre in Clifton and we are performing a show of Summer Holiday with IVRs.
00:41 So basically the show is about some London bus mechanics that decide to make a business out of a bus
00:49 and it's literally all across Europe. Obviously they meet some girls along the way.
00:55 There's lots of ups and downs. Honestly, it's such a fun, happy, energetic show and I'm really, really proud to be a part of it.
01:03 It's really good fun. It's the 70s, 60s, so very fun dancing era.
01:10 And our outfits at the end are just...
01:12 I can agree with that, yeah.
01:13 It's a little tropical number.
01:15 So yeah.
01:16 It's really cute.
01:18 For the young ones of Bristol, IVR's Youth Theatre gives them an opportunity to perform a full-scale musical on a professional stage.
01:27 But what does IVR mean to them?
01:30 I started when I was five, so this is my last show. It's been about 13 years.
01:34 And it just, it does feel like a family. I know everyone says that.
01:36 It's so, yeah, it's so cliche but it's so cute.
01:39 IVR has been running for quite a while now. I think it's like 20 years or something.
01:43 It's run by Kelly and I find that it's very inclusive.
01:48 We're like a big family here, so it's really fun to be a part of.
01:51 We just work so well as a group and you can see that in our spirits, in our faces and through everything that we do.
02:01 Yeah, I think with the family vibe it definitely makes it very easy for us to gel, very easy to have chemistry on stage.
02:08 A crazy journey. This is actually my last show with IVR, which is really sad because I've actually done three shows with IVR.
02:15 But yeah, just really, really happy to be a part of it.
02:19 I'm just loving the atmosphere and I just can't wait for people to see this show. I just can't wait. It's going to be amazing.
02:24 An amateur production based on the 1963 film starring Cliff Richard is presented by Arrangement with Musical Theatre International
02:35 and includes iconic songs such as 'Bachelor Boy', 'Living Doll' and 'On the Beach' and 'The Young Ones'.
02:44 You can expect quite a range of different music. It goes from rock to jazz to more melancholy like anthems.
02:53 But we dance as well. We've got some amazing, amazing dancers here. We just work so well as a group.
