Taking you from Broomefield to Broadway, Year 11 host Annie guides you through 3 Acts to raise the curtain on the exhilarating and dramatic world of Musical Theatre at CHS.

Since 2015, the School’s all-singing, all-dancing Co-Curricular activity has provided an expressive and creative outlet for many pupils – often going on to become familiar faces appearing in TV series on the BBC and Netflix, or performing at the West End – but how has musical theatre at CHS helped them? What is it really like to be involved? And why are more and more students taking part each year?

Waiting in the wings, current CHS thespians shine a spotlight on their own centre-stage experiences and discuss the buzz of backstage as they reflect upon recent shows including 13, Les Misérables, Seussical The Musical, Grease and Chicago!

Tread the boards with Old Waconian thespians who invite you to follow their dramatic post-CHS journeys, and reveal the highlights of their most memorable performances from their time in school.

Hear what happens during countless hours of ensemble rehearsals with CHS’s talented musicians as Musical Theatre Music Director, Mr Mann explains why the magic of a strong melody should never be underestimated.

And don’t forget your dancing shoes as you step into CHS’s dance studio to meet the School’s Musical Theatre Choreographer, Mr Clarke, who shares a few secrets to the shows’ dance routine success.
