Young performers showcase talents in UK’s biggest Cats
Young performers from Leamington and Warwick are joining almost 3,000 others in Britain’s largest ever performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats in Birmingham on Sunday.
Some 83 singers and dancers aged between six and 18 from the Stagecoach theatre arts school’s south Warwickshire branch are taking part in celebrations for the school’s 25th anniversary by performing in the show, which takes place at the National Indoor Arena.
Exclusive permission has been given by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Really Useful Group for the production, with thousands of performers from Stagecoach schools nationally and internationally taking part.
The cast will include 50 specially selected dancers and 500 singers in a grand choir from 13 Stagecoach schools, accompanied by an orchestra under the direction of world renowned conductor, Paul Leddington Wright.
Veronica Bennetts, Stagecoach’s director of education, said: “TS Eliot’s poetry combined with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music has been inspirational and the students have been in their element in rehearsals singing, dancing and acting.”
