This month, Newcastle World reported on the success of our amazing school show when they ran a story on our ‘tasty treat’ of a musical, Little Shop of Horrors. The show ran for three nights in the penultimate week of term, with over 70 of our talented students from Years 8 to 12 taking part both on and off-stage, as cast and production team members.
Based on a low-budget 1960 black comedy, the rock musical features music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman; it relates the story of unfortunate flower shop employee Seymour, who discovers a carnivorous plant with a taste for human blood. The show was a great triumph and everyone who saw it was impressed by the amazing cast and crew.
“Little Shop of Horrors is quirky and darkly comedic, which blends rock, doo-wop and Motown styles,” said Mrs Palma, Head of Performing Arts. “The blend of horror elements with comedy, creates a unique style.”
