I was very pleased to attend this musical on the Saturday afternoon performance, along with my colleague Jenny King who is the Regional Youth Adviser.

Well I must say School was never like this in my day! I was impressed with the enthusiasm shown by all the cast, there was so much energy in their many routines and dance numbers.

The basketball team captain Troy was well played by Christopher Barker who has good vocals, and I really thought the duet ‘Start of Something New’ with Gabriella, well played by Connie Svatins, was great.

Two other performances which I liked came from Meryn Nixon as Sharpay, who made this part her own, and Robbie Gaffney as Ryan, they worked well together. Another young lady who caught the eye was Charlotte Charles playing Taylor.

All the cast, The Jocks, The Brainiacs, Thespians, Cheerleaders, and the Teachers all gave of their best and played their parts competently. The set was good as were the costumes. Special mention to a little boy of six, you are a future star.

Also well done to the young lady who was the first recipient of an award, presented to her for commitment to the Society by Jenny King.

A good afternoon’s entertainment, and thank you for your hospitality.
