Karen Wareham, our Musical Director is working hard to adapt the show to suit a modern audience with fresh young talented artists. She said,

“As the musical director, I am extremely proud of the hard work and dedication that our cast and crew have put into this production. They have had to carefully recreate American lyrics and accents to immerse an audience right back to 1950s Rydell High. The performances are truly stellar, and I have no doubt that audiences will be blown away by the talent of our pupils.” 

Joe Edwards Gill, the school’s Head of Performing Arts champions the work of our pupils who invest time every week throughout the year to put on a unique and professional performance. He said,

"It's wonderful to see the pupils come together and work collaboratively to create something truly unique and impressive. Our brand new purpose-built stage and lighting system will take the production to the next level, and I cannot wait for audiences to see the hard work that has gone into this show." 

Our school has been buzzing with excitement, and the cast and crew are working almost daily, including every Saturday until the curtain is raised on Monday 12th February. The dedication and talents of our pupils are sure to shine through as they bring this amazing show to life. 

We invite you to come and celebrate the dreams and talents of our cast and crew as they perform this spectacular show in our very own purpose built staging and lighting. Don't miss out on this enchanting experience - get your tickets now, available through the My Child at School App. See you there!
