Celebrating SIX
Last week, students from all year groups came together to perform their own production of SIX: Teen Edition. The event took place over two days and the team of dedicated students and staff took full advantage of the new state of the art technology in the Performance Space. Both showings ended in a full standing ovation as audiences leapt to their feet, and I am so proud of all the students involved. In this most recent production, students took are more active role in the planning, organisation and running of the event from theatre/ events management to the distribution of tickets and programmes. The musical has received some feedback from the wider community, and we would like to take a moment to share it with you.
'Watching this production makes me want to go and see it in London - these students didn't skip a beat. Amazing!'.
'Thank you so much for inviting us to come at watch your production of SIX. I have seen it performed at the Woking theatre and I can honestly say I thought your production was as good.
The music, dancing, singing and acting were all fantastic. Our children absolutely loved it. It was particularly good for those children who had friends/ siblings in the production as they loved seeing them dance/ perform. A number of the girls go to the same dance company and so it was inspiring for them to see what the older girls could do.
On the way back to school they were very excited!!! They were singing the songs!'
'The atmosphere was absolutely buzzing when I went to collect my son from his school yesterday, everyone was saying how amazing the production was!!!
Well done to everyone…you pulled it out of the bag yet again (only hope I actually get to see the next one!😉).'
'I just wanted to message to say how much we enjoyed the show and really thought it was one of the best we’ve seen (and that’s not just flowery hyperbole!) Also, the first show we’ve seen where the mics worked! 😂 They all performed so well, the dancers / dancing was so well choreographed and performed and the singing was fantastic. Thank you for giving my daughter this opportunity as she really has grown in confidence and has found her calling. We are so proud of her.'
'We were blown away by the talent on display. It was great for our pupils to see such inspirational performances and they were buzzing about it and singing the songs all day. (Also, they could not believe young people were actually playing all the instruments they could see!'
'Amazing - West End standard! The teaching staff and pupils should be so proud of this, the vocals were outstanding and the collaboration in a school was so refreshing'.
'It was sensational - so many talented students'.
