A little more about the Production..........................

 

Rehearsals next week (9):

After school rehearsals are cancelled on Monday 05/08 due to a dialogue rehearsal occurring all day that day with Carol and Laura. Sunday 11/08 rehearsals are not cancelled as they have a whole school rehearsal in Week 10.

 

This is a play with over 25 speaking parts (5 main characters) and 21 musical items including 14 house cohort performances, 4 house cohort songs, a choir performance, a "Stomp" style percussion item and a song sung by the whole school for the finale. 

 

The music we have chosen to use is very eclectic and includes songs by Elvis, Meghan Trainor, Shakira, Bruno Mars, Madness, S Club 7, Phil Collins, Peter Allen, Katy Perry, Cindy Lauper and Britney Spears.

It also includes The William Tell Overture, Chariots of Fire and the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean.

Students have been working very hard to learn their dance items as well as the 2 songs they will be performing. 

It has been lovely to watch individual talent come to light and shine in their specific roles. 

Sometimes it's a small cameo role (such as the Big Bad Wolf, or the 3 blind mice) who steal their scene.

There is also a rumour going around that B1 and B2 make a brief appearance.........Shhhhhh!!!!

As excitement grows around the school about the production, we understand there are some concerns regarding the finishing time (approx. 9pm).

We fully appreciate this is past some students regular bedtime, and as such will be understanding if students require a sleep in on the Wednesday and Friday following the performances. 

All students are expected to perform in the finale as a whole school item. This is often a highlight as it brings all students together at the end. 

Also, as teachers will be in the hall supervising students prior to the finale, it is logistically difficult to sign students out early without disrupting the performance.
