Performing Arts triumph – Seussical the Musical

23 March 2020

Suessical the Musical landed at St Andrew’s Prep last week. Driven by an almost non-stop soundtrack, the energy-infused show is exhausting to watch let alone perform. Visually stunning with clever choreography, bright and colourful costumes and an excellent set, the cast of over 80 children demonstrated their impressive musicality, story-telling and love of performance.

In a world where having a creative spirit and imaginative mind is more important than ever, it is encouraging to see how much the Androvians are benefiting from this kind of experience.

We were especially pleased to welcome Lindfield SEN School who brought a group of pupils to watch a performance of the musical on Tuesday. Their teacher said, “Thank you St Andrew’s Prep for inspiring our young people and for telling them such a beautiful story about friendship and loyalty.”

Well done to Mrs Radley and the production team for putting it all together

A group of children in colourful costumes showcase their love for the performing arts on stage. The central performer wears a pink dress with a feather boa and headpiece, whilst others in bright tutus raise their arms as part of the dance. A group of children in bright, colourful costumes with feathered headpieces showcase their performing arts skills as they stand and perform among an audience of seated children in a school auditorium. A performer in a bright blue dress with feather trim and a matching headpiece stands on stage with raised arms, bringing the performing arts to life. Behind her are colourful, cartoon-style trees and props, with musicians visible at the edge of the stage. Four children in fancy dress showcase their love for the performing arts on stage. One, dressed as the Grinch with a red Santa coat and green face paint, stands at the front, while others wear assorted costumes, including a white dress and dungarees. Three children perform on stage in colourful costumes, embracing the performing arts; one wears a suit and false moustache, another dons dungarees and a red cap, and the third is in a white dress. They gesture with open arms, acting in a school play. Children showcase their performing arts skills on stage; some wear black jackets and sunglasses, while others sport purple costumes with animal ears.
