What a joy it h as been bringin g Shrek Jr. to lif our 3rds and L e with 4 cast! From th e very first sing to the final run -through , they have thro wn themselves every rehearsa into l with such enth usiasm, humou determination r, and . Learning this sc o re is but they’ve tak no small feat, en it all in their st ri de, and it has b absolutely brilli een ant to watch th e show grow, de finally come to velop, and gether into wh at you see on st age tonight.

One of the mo st special parts of this process watching the ca has been st bond over ti m e .

N ot just within y groups, but acr ear oss them too.

It ’s b een lovely to se new friendship e s form through a shared love o and drama, an f music d to see the w ay they’ve sup encouraged ea ported and ch other throu g h o u t.

T togetherness sh hat real sense of ines through in th e ir performance has made this and experience all the more rewa everyone involv rding for ed.

The music in S hrek, written b y the fantastic Tesori, feels pa Jeanine rticularly speci al to celebrate setting. As a g in our irls’ school, it’s so e x ci ting for our stu to perform mu sic by such an dents a cc o mplished fema composer, and le they have risen to the challeng energy, confid e with ence, and plen ty of sparkle.

A huge thank y ou to Mr Ashe for his unwave and good hum ring support our throughou t.

It ’s a ls to work alongsi o been wonde rful de Ms Torrent a g a in ; she brings su efficiency and ch organisation to the process, alo relentlessly che ngside a erful and positi ve attitude. I a grateful for he m especially r patience whe n I m a y more than one (on occasion…) ha v e g o t a little carried away a nd added rath e r la rge numbers of ch orus members in to several of the numbers !

Most of all, I’m incredibly prou d of this cast.

They’ve worke d so hard, sup ported each o step of the wa ther every y, and created so m ething really sp together. I hop ecial e you enjoy th e show as much enjoyed puttin as we have g it on!
