Sacred Heart School, Coolah Greased Lightning!
C
oolah recently rocked to the excitement and music of Grease the Musical. K1 first graced the stage as the kids from Rydell High School, when Danny (Will Maslenwas) reunited with good-girl Sandy (Heidi Kitchin). The T-Birds were engaging, adding humour and style to their performance. K1 had velvet vocal chords and moves to match as they grooved along to a rousing performance of Summer Nights. Y2/3 then took to the stage. Sandy (Phoebe Hallett) was horrified at the thought of having her ears pierced by Frenchy (Alexandra Murru) and the other Pink Ladies. The Pink Ladies performed a fabulous version of Sandra Dee, using chairs as props and some fantastic choreography. Trini Ord superbly Wellington, Ben Cameron and Ethan Miles looked fantastic in played the irrepressible Miss Lynch and Lucy Arnott followed as their leathers and oozed attitude. Miles Ghiggioli, Otto Kuhn, the charismatic ‘hostess with the mostest’, Vince Fontaine. Hugh Ord and Gian Elumba were equally as compelling as the ChaCha was played by a very believable Brie Pettet. Tyler rival gang, The Scorpions. Melissa Pittman was joined by the Lennox, as Danny, had charisma in bucket loads and new T-Birds unforgettable Edward Cox, Brody Pettet and Joe Furely as the Hughie Pettet, Lucas Cameron, Will Ticehurst, Sam Baker and Pink Ladies. The Ladies added flare and comic aptitude to their Ben Cox were mesmerising in their electric rendition of Greased roles and received rapturous applause. Lightning. Grace Brown’s conversion (as Sandy), from shy wallflower to Thunder Road was the scene for Y4/5/6. T-Birds James Williams leather clad babe, was a show stopper. Grace and James as Danny, Johnty Pettet, Harry Malone, Tristan Irvin, Charlie pulled off some fantastic dancing, supported by the cast. For the finale, the whole school assembled on stage to a bopping and lively version of Grease Megamix. All students delivered an outstanding, entertaining performance. The adaption and choreography were particularly good, with all credit to Mrs Vanessa Pettet whose talented direction allowed each child to shine. A special mention to Archie Malone and Jay Carlyle for their fantastic role in props, to Travis Wellington for perfect music production and to the staff for their dedication to making this production ‘the best’!
