Eighteen young performers, aged 10 to 17, all from Ealing joined Stagecoach schools from across the country to deliver a spectacular showcase of musical theatre. With months of rehearsals and dedication the troupe performed songs including ‘Down the Witches Road’ (Agatha All Along) and ‘The Pirates of the Caribbean Theme Song.’

Principal Valerie Weyland said:

‘Some of the students have been with us for years and others have just joined and have very little experience but each and every one of them was a star and we couldn't be prouder of them, the theatre erupted with applause when they had finished. What a wonderful memory for our talented students.’
