Over fifty students took part in our colourful, toe tapping extravaganza of Hairspray. The show ran over four nights and all seats were sold out! With students as young as Year 8 managing the responsibility of lead roles, lead dancers and also as part of the backstage crew it was a celebration of talent at the highest order.
Jonathan Cowen starred as Edna, Tracy’s Mum complete with a fat suit and full face of make-up, this was a wonder to behold! Dillon Browne was shining in his professional portrayal as Corny Collins. The lead role of Tracy was double cast due to the unbelievable quality of auditions and Sophie Springham and Evie James did not disappoint with a quirky, American sass that had the audience singing and laughing along. The Birchwood band displayed a level of professionalism second to none – their calm brilliance in their musical performance left the audience wondering if a backing track was playing! This was an exceptional performance by all members of the production and the audience said they felt it had been a privilege to witness. Thank you to everyone who helped to make the show possible.
