More than 70 students are bringing to life the Disney classic Frozen Jr this week.
After months of practice, the Haileybury Berwick campus’s cast and 22 crew members were set to unveil a colourful and energetic production from 22-24 August.
The school’s head of drama Georgina Buttery nominated a few cheesy and obvious favourite moments from the show.
“A particularly special moment is when Elsa does her big reveal because one of our students, Stephanie, did the choreography for that number.”
Another highlight has been watching students’ confidence and abilities soar during rehearsals.
“The performers have dazzled the production crew and everyone has worked hard to help each other.”
Maja, Year 8, stars as Anna and she says she’s prepared hard for her leading role.
“I’ve enjoyed the lead-up to the opening night and spending weeks rehearsing to see the show come together. I hope the audience enjoys themselves,” Maja said.
Co-star, Oviya, is playing the role of Elsa. The Year 7 student says she’s worked on her posture and ‘queen-like’ mannerisms to bring her character to life.
“One of my favourite parts of the show is In Summer because of the upbeat song and choreography,” she says.
Florence, Year 7, is playing the role of the loveable snowman, Olaf.
As well as rehearsing herself, she’s watched the Frozen movie a few times to watch how Olaf moves and behaves.
“That has helped me get into character and I’ve spent time at school and at home thinking about how I will bring Olaf to life.
“I’m really looking forward to opening night and to see all our hard work finally in action on the stage.”
Frozen Jr is at Haileybury Berwick, John Twist Hall, 138 High Street, Berwick from Tuesday 20 August to Thursday 22 August.
