Musical Theatre Talent on Show
Our Musical Theatre Evening was a showcase of astonishing vocal talent from pupils across the school. Accompanied by a live band (music staff and VMTs), our singers took to the stage delivering songs from musicals through the ages, from 1927 to present day, including, Showboat, My Fair Lady, West Side Story, Chicago, Sweeny Todd, Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Hairspray, Matilda, Hamilton and Six. Singers performed with great confidence and style whilst portraying the character from their songs, some in magnificent costume and with props. Our combined massed choir (Chamber Choir, ETS, Vocalpoint and Close Harmony) performed a powerful medley of songs from the stage show, 鈥楾he Lion King鈥�; an uplifting moment for all. Stand-out solo performances included; Annabella W鈥檚 dramatic rendition of 鈥楧on鈥檛 Tell Mamma鈥� from Cabaret, Logan C鈥檚 moving performance of 鈥楤ring Him Home鈥� from Les Miserables and Anna D鈥檚 stunning performance of 鈥業鈥檓 Not Afraid of Anything鈥� from Songs From A New World. The concert began with drummer Sophia E performing the Overture from Gipsy- an impressive and striking start to the evening. As commented on by Headmaster, Mr Jones, what was particularly wonderful to see was the camaraderie and support amongst the pupils throughout this performance. Congratulations and thanks to all performers involved.
