What a wonderful event it was! Family, friends, students and staff gathered together for a the first NCW Musical Theatre Concert, staged by staff and students from Musical Theatre Club.
With the Chapel and Library set up ‘cabaret style’ the stage was set, the sparkly silver accessories were donned and the voices were warmed up ready to go.
The concert featured a host of songs across myriad musicals – from ‘Cabaret’ to ‘Shrek’ and ‘Les Misérables’ to ‘Matilda’ – with everything in between!
The progamme included:
