Lichfield Operatic Society presents the musical Whistle Down the Wind at the Lichfield Garrick.

The society is one of the first in the region to gain the rights to perform the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jim Steinman show, adapted from the famous film.

Made famous by the 1960s film starring Hayley Mills and Alan Bates, it tells the story of children who mistake an escaped murderer hiding in a barn for Jesus Christ.

A musical for all the family, it plays each night at 7.30pm and for a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.
