This year it is very exciting to share with you that our Musical Production of ‘Disney Beauty and the Beast Junior’ will go ahead this term. After having to cancel our production last year, we have had our contract and performing right extended for another year.

 

For those families who are new to Unley PS, our production term is very exciting for everyone!

 

Our musical involves the whole school, we have 2 casts – CAST A and CAST B. The year 6/7 students are the actors, solo singers on stage and having 2 casts means that there are 2 of each character. The year 3/4/5 students are involved as the CHORUS. There will be 3 or 4 classes singing together in each cast. The Year R/1/2 students will be involved in the beginning of the show in the opening song.

 

Last term our year 6/7 students auditioned for roles as characters on stage. We have cast our characters and the year 6/7 students have eagerly started rehearsals. Students in Years R-5 will learn their singing part in their classroom music lessons and through practising in their class.

 

The musical will be performed in Week 10 of this term on Tuesday and Wednesday in the evening. There will be 5pm and 7.30pm shows. Each Cast will perform 2 shows and 2 dress rehearsals. The Year R/1/2 students will be involved in 1 dress rehearsal and 1 show. In Week 8 we take over the Sports Arts Centre, turn it into a theatre and it all starts to come together.

The musical is such a wonderful opportunity for the whole school to come together and produce a show for our school community.

 

Stay tuned for more information to follow in the coming weeks.
