Saturday 24th June at 7:30pm

Next up, meet Erin! šŸƒ

Erin is playing the titular role of Merry and so she has the difficult task of staying on stage for practically the entire show (minus about 5 seconds)

Merry starts the show just trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life after finishing her degree. With a cast and production team full of graduates and students, we certainly all relate to Merry!

Be Merry comes to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe between 4th and 12th August, with performances everyday at 12:15pm.

Canā€™t wait that long? Why not check out our previews in Southampton on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th June.

šŸƒ Meet Will! šŸƒ

Will is playing a few roles in the show, but he really gets to shine in his songs as George. George is a witty romantic poet, calm and collected. If you follow our Instagram () youā€™ll know that Will is almost the polar opposite - chaotic and crazy!

We canā€™t wait for you to see Will in Be Merry.If you canā€™t make it to the Edinburgh Fringe, come along on 24th or 25th June for our previews in Southampton!

Tickets are now available for all our performances. Reserve here: linktr.ee/bemerry

Whatā€™s the show about? Hereā€™s a little flavour šŸ½ļø:
Be Merry starts when Merry and Winnie meet by chance in a park. Winnie soon decides to guide Merry through the story of her life, and the lessons sheā€™s learnt along the way. Be Merry is a tale of love, loss and learning šŸ’š

Introducingā€¦ Ellena! šŸƒ

Merry and Winnie meet by chance in a park and Winnie soon decides to guide Merry through the story of her life, including her escapades with Vi!

During our 9-day run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Ellena will be playing Vi, Winnieā€™s best friend. Itā€™s been a joy to have Ellena in rehearsals and see her bring the character of Vi to life.

Be Merry comes to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe between 4th and 12th August, shown at Venue 39 everyday at 12:15pm šŸ’š

Our next cast member for you to meet is the lovely Tom, playing the swanky and suave Cliff!

Itā€™s fair to say that Tom is one of our six most chaotic cast membersā€¦ No, but really, he has been a pleasure in rehearsals and we canā€™t wait for you to hear his solo with his silky smooth vocals!

With rehearsals well underway for our trip to the Edinburgh Fringe, itā€™s about time we introduce you to our wonderful castā€¦ First up, meet Hermione!

Be Merry starts when Merry and Winnie meet by chance in a park. Winnie soon decides to guide Merry through the story of her life, and the lessons sheā€™s learnt along the way. So, we thought what better way for you to meet Hermione than to ask her questions relevant to this wonderfully wholesome show!

Hermione has been an irreplaceable member of our creative team as Assistant Choreographer. She also takes on various roles within the show and plays a key part in our funky funky āœØtransitionsāœØ

Tickets are now available for our performances in Edinburgh. Reserve here: linktr.ee/bemerry
