But the organisers are appealing for more trained dancers who are able to pick up routines quickly to join in due to the short amount of time left for rehearsals.

The Stephen Schwartz musical is based on the story of the first man and woman and the reason for rainbows. The theme features the biblical stories of Adam and Eve and their sons Cain and Abel, plus Noah and the great flood as told in the Book of Genesis.

Project director Sue Pointon says: "We put out a general call for dancers. Most of them have so far come from 7Academy of Performing Arts. We are looking for two or three more with performance experience to get on board."

"The box office is open online and tickets are selling.

"Meanwhile the core team continue to learn lines, create costumes and props and look forward to a final month of preparations. This promises to be a lively, thought provoking evening of entertainment for all ages with an amazing cast of talented adult musical theatre performers."

There will be two shows on January 31 at All Saints Church, in Church Street, Wellington, and Holy Trinity Church, in Old Vicarage Road, Dawley, on February 1.

Both will start at 7.30pm. Tickets are on sale via the website link childrenofedentelford.com and the cost will be adults £10 and children £7 plus booking fees.

Proceeds will be donated to charity via the Mayor of Wellington’s fund.
