THE fuel crisis will not stop a group of youngsters from Redcar and Cleveland giving a dress rehearsal for their performance in the Dome.
A cast of 60 youngsters from across the borough will preview the performance at Bydales School, Marske, on Saturday night despite fears the performance could be postponed because of the fuel crisis.
The performance takes place in the Millennium Dome on October 13, as part of McDonald's Our Town Story, where youngsters from every local authority in the country give a performance about their area.
Redcar and Cleveland's show features dance and music on a theme of myths and legends, based on the tales of local witch Peg Powler.
The cast features young musicians from Tees Valley Music Service, and dancers from three youth centres - Marske, West Redcar and South Bank, four primary schools - Normanby, St Gabriels in Ormesby, Northgate in Guisborough, Hummersea at Loftus as well as Bydales School.
Students from Redcar FE College will also have an exhibition of myths and legends next to the performance stage.
Allan Cassidy, project organiser on behalf of Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, said: "It would have been a great shame if the young people's tremendous enthusiasm for this project was dented and at this stage, there's nothing to suggest we won't be performing at the Dome, either."
