Godspell

Pick up your Roget's Thesaurus turn to find the word “excellent” and you will find many more words which could be ascribed to this wonderful (there’s one) performance of Godspell by SONG a group of immensely talented youngsters; 26 in all, aged from 10 to 16.

On stage for the whole of the action approximately 1 & 3/4 hours they sang, acted and danced their way through a production which was apparently of great delight to them and certainly was to their audience. Director Stephen Hughes-Alty together with Choreographer Jackie Morris and Musical Director Paul Williams obviously worked very hard in getting the very best out of their young charges and who in return gave all they could. Charlie McMullan and Lydia Seed got us off to a fine start and sustained this level throughout totally supported by Layla Carlin, Sophie Wright, Hayleigh (the hat) Griffin. Add to these Mia Harrison, Helen Fleycger Hill, Anita Gillian, Molly Wilkinson, Astrid Travis Joshua Malone and Ben Ankers. I’m keeping going because every single one deserved a mention so: Charlotte Webster, Harry Gascoigne. Olivia Thorne, Bethany Griffin, Eden Birch and Charlie Edge (some voice this young lady has). Then there was Isabella Knowler, Laura Parr and Heid Henders as well as Nisha Kumari-Webster, Emma Dinsdale, Mathew Higginson, Jamie Lonsdale and Tom McMullan. A star studded cast exuding personality and versatility in all they did.
