This musical is a combination of The Disney Channels "Camp Rock" and "Camp Rock 2, The Final Jam" about rivalry and power, based around the character Mitchie Torres and her friends who arrive at Camp Rock to spend the summer jamming out. However, the flashy Star Camp from across the Lake threatens Camp Rock’s existence but Mitchie and her fellow Camp Rockers up their game which results in an ultimate showdown. From the principals to the Camp Rockers and Star Campers, the company collectively delivered a high energy performance through musical numbers, choreography and drama. Playing the lead character, Caoimhe McCann (10) gave an excellent all-round performance as Mitchie as did Ben MacPherson (12) playing Shane who blended well with Calum McGonigle (14) and Luke McCarthy (11) as Nat and Jason. Great performances were provided by Rosa O’Hanlon (13 - Caitlyn), Morgan Porter (13 – Tess), Jenna Grabiec (12 – Ella), Eva Caldwell (13 – Rosie), Grace Jordan (14 – Peggy), Madison Lawson (13 - Barron), Cody Forrester (14 – Sander), Chloe McMullen (10 – Andi), Rebecca Furneaux (10 - Dana) and Emily Allen (14 – Lucy) with Fiona Cowie, Megan O’Raw and Hannah Robinson playing Axel, Brown and Georgina. Having been a supporter of MLO Youth since it became established in 2018, it is indeed a joy to watch the company grow to perform with such infectious enthusiasm and observe them develop their confidence and performance skills. It is also encouraging to see some from the youth section advancing into the adult section. This was my first visit to Camp Rock which I thoroughly enjoyed and I look forward to your next production.
