Fairfield High School delighted its audience with three evenings of A Night at the Musicals, including classics from these much loved musicals – Greatest Showman, Moana, Billy Elliot, The Lion King, Hamilton, Hairspray, Mamma Mia and Grease. Throughout the energy, talent and finesse was staggering, as students either whirled around the stage with spellbinding choreographed dances, sung tear-jerking duos or beautiful solos.
The 40 strong cast appeared in multiple musicals, with a fine balance of minor and major parts, meaning that many had their own moment to shine. The support and energy shown by all, regardless of their role or prominence, was clear to see.
Natalie, Thompson, Head of Performing Arts, said, “It was a tough decision choosing just one musical, which is why we decided to perform eight from different genres and eras. This was an even harder task for our young people as they quickly changed between character, costume, accents and staging.
“I’m bursting with pride and awe at our fantastic students who portrayed their characters so beautifully.”
