This show from the talented young stars of Stagedright, really was spectacular. The audience enjoyed a programme of seasonal music, as well as some well known popular songs and songs from musical theatre.

All the Stagedright groups, Infants, Juniors and Seniors played their part wonderfully well. The way the soloists and chorus blended together was brilliant.

Highlights for me included the Carpenters tribute compilation, Anthem from Chess, my personal favourite, and Pie Jesu, which was sung sublimely by boy soprano Alex Bousfield and Hannah Dodd. Having said that, the whole musical programme was quite amazing..

The links between the music was very clever, and we were treated to some comedy, a Santa picket line and a version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, each part very well played and much enjoyed by the packed audience in St John’s Church.

Costumes, as always were superb, lighting and sound in the church was excellent. The seamless transition between musical numbers from the different age groups was a joy.

This show from a very talented group of young people was the perfect way of getting into the Christmas spirit. Thank you to everyone concerned with this fantastic production.
