The Weird and Wonderful World of Musicals!

On Thursday 19th November 2015 the creative students of Regents Park Community College came together to perform an entertaining evening full of musical wonders on the school stage. Many talented performers took to the stage such as Eleanor Hartley, a Year 7 student, with a voice so powerful that she took the audience by surprise with her talent. Eleanor sang the song ‘The Wizard and I’ from the musical ‘Wicked’. Miss Bishop speculated that she wouldn’t be surprised to see Eleanor as a star on the West End in the future. Another performer was Crystal Turner-Brightman, Year 10, who boldly sang ‘Memories’ from Cats’ by Elaine Paige. She is also singing this song for her GCSE Music piece and was accompanied by Mr Barron, her GCSE music teacher. As well as soloists we had many amazing duets such as ‘Have a Little Priest’ from Sweeney Todd. This was performed by Dominic Green and Emma-Louise Webster, who are both in Year 11. Their voices worked wonders together and it was very entertaining. Another trio included Hakuna Matata performed once again by the talented Dominic Green along with Sam and Nicola. These three have done most of the musicals together since joining Regents Park Community College and have been a great team. In addition to the musical numbers, GCSE Dance and the Rock Challenge team came down to show the audience a taster of what they will be doing this year! The dances

were moving and very enjoyable; we’re all excited for what’s to come next! It is clear to see that Regents Park has a lot of musical talent and our future performers were shining bright. Overall, a massive well done to everyone who took part – on stage or behind the scenes. A thank you must be afforded to Dominic Green. This show wouldn’t have happened if not for him. With the help of the Creative Arts teachers, he scripted and directed the performance for his Gold Art Award. Congratulations to him as the show went smoothly and entertained many people. Sadly, this was the last show for the Year 11 students and we even had tears backstage. We wish them the very best for the future and hope they keep doing what they love.
