Review by Mark Beechey
Studio One’s ‘Strictly Musicals’ in aid of Julia’s House Hospice was performed to a full house and included well know excerpts from musicals such as ‘42nd Street’, ‘Dreamboats and Petticoats’ and ‘Matilda’.
Well choreographed, with an array of vibrant costumes, sets and dancers of all ages, ‘Strictly Musicals’ showcased the high standards achieved by Studio One in all aspects of dance and performing arts. Many of the older students shone through with mesmerizing solos.
The finale came from ‘Shrek the Musical’, with the audience clapping along. The performers pulled out all stops and the result was nothing short of spectacular.
Well done to all who took part raising a whopping £5,000 for a very deserving cause. I will definitely be booking tickets for Studio One’s next show, ‘A Chance to Dance’ on 23 June.
