We are splitting our Easter workshops into two separate themes. For children aged 5-7 the theme is Madagascar Jr and for children 8-11 it is High School Musical. Please make sure you book on using the correct link.
Disney Channel’s smash hit movie musical comes to life on your stage in Disney’s High School Musical JR. Troy, Gabriella and the students of East High must deal with issues of love, friendship and family while balancing their classes and extracurricular activities. The show is full of infection songs the children will adore.
Join Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the hip hip Hippo and, of course, those hilarious, plotting penguins as they bound onto your stage in the musical adventure of a lifetime. Based on the smash DreamWorks animated motion picture, Madagascar – A Musical Adventure JR.
Both workshops will include short extracts from some scenes and a few songs from their soundtrack. The workshops will run from 9.30am until 3.00pm, on the final day will include a short performance.
