What's different about 'My Show' is that all the songs and dances have been chosen by the kids themselves! They're also helping choose what to wear and will have a say in the staging too!
We asked them what they wanted to do and they weren’t short of ideas; in fact they had so many good ideas, we’re having to do the show in two parts!
The first show at 7pm Saturday 1st February; it's an all-singing, all-dancing special with the unique bonus of several solo performances.
The second part is at 3pm Sunday 2nd February; this is their drama showcase, showing four separate productions, including a mini-musical 'Charlie & The Chocolate Factory'!
Naturally they chose some of their favourite songs, but some are quite new to them. Helen and India shortlisted their ideas and they voted on which songs to do.
In Dance, it was a new approach with our new team, Emma-Lou and Lauren. They offered a choice of genre, and you’ll see, most of them are pretty lively!
Sadie and Pinny have had their work cut-out with a mixed style of comedy and one a bit more serious! Last year we worked mostly from improvisations – but for ‘My Show’, they’ve chosen scripted work from modern writers.
Topaz chose ‘Charlie’ (their Captain’s idea!) So Vicki and Frankiee followed our ‘Wizard of Oz’ idea, shortened the whole thing down, and are pleased to present their own little show – within a show!
We thought that ‘My Show’ was a great opportunity for some solo performances. These songs and dances will be their own work, not produced in classes, but worked on at home, by themselves.
‘My Show’ is their show! But they'd love to share it with you!
