Meeting every Sunday at the Methodist Centre in Brewer Street, the team are being put through their paces to ensure the show, which will reprise some of the most memorable songs from half a century of performances, is as polished as can be.
The Scouts have already visited the theatre for a behind-the-scenes peek backstage, to discover where the magic happens with the sound and lighting.
