"A great deal of hard work has gone into our production which is a spectacular showcase for all the talent at FitzWimarc.

“Our Music, Drama and Dance departments started auditions way back in October, and rehearsals have been taking place ever since.

" All aspects of the show have involved students throughout years 7 to 11 and also included local primary students, and this really enhanced the performances.

“It has been incredibly enjoyable to see the cast grow in their roles throughout this time and the end product, our fabulous production, really shows all the hard work they have put into it.”
