A new brass band musical, 'Victoria Wood: A Laugh Less Ordinary,' will debut this weekend, celebrating the work of the late comedian and musician Victoria Wood, who passed away ten years ago. Written by acclaimed composer Andrea Price, the piece pays tribute to Wood's rich musical legacy, capturing her humor and humanity. The performances will be conducted by Professor Nicholas Childs, a prominent brass band conductor, and will take place in Leyburn, North Yorkshire, and Manchester, England. Funded by The Victoria Wood Foundation, the project not only honors Wood's contributions to music and comedy but also provides bursaries for young musicians to attend courses with the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain (NYBBGB). Price's composition draws inspiration from Wood's iconic songs and sketches, exploring themes of friendship and human connection. The piece promises to be a joyful tribute, featuring a dazzling reimagining of the Dinnerladies theme and aiming to introduce Wood's work to a new generation of performers. The premiere concerts are scheduled for April 11 and April 18.
