Standing Ovation for Year 6’s Oliver Jr!

With memorable songs like ‘Food Glorious Food’, and ‘Consider Yourself’ and phenomenal energy and acting from all of the cast, it was no wonder that Oliver Jr! ended each night with standing ovations this week.

This was the first time that many of the Year 6’s had been on a ‘big stage’ in the Burrell Theatre and their courage as they took to the stage was wonderful to see.

Most of the roles were played by two actors, splitting the role between the two nights and there were some truly stunning performances.

A huge thanks to the cast and crew who work so hard to make this an unmissable evening of song, dance and cheer. A special thanks to Mrs Gregory for bringing it all together. A big well done to all!
