Students from Overnewton Anglican Community College will take centre stage in an upcoming performance of We Will Rock You the musical.
The musical takes place in a future where originality has been erased and music no longer exists.
The story follows a group of outsiders who dare to challenge the system and bring real music and freedom back to the world.
Director Cailin McCarthy said the show is loud, funny, chaotic and full of heart, and that it has challenged the students in the best possible ways.
“The vocals are demanding, the pace is fast, and the characters are bold, and they have embraced every moment,” she said.
“Their focus, creativity and teamwork have been remarkable. Watching them work and grow together has been a highlight of the year.”
Head of performing arts Carolyn Hernandez said the production is more than a school musical.
“It’s a full-scale theatrical experience, brought to life by an incredibly talented group of young people, from the performers and musicians to the backstage crew, hair and makeup teams, and our technical students,” she said.
“With Queen’s iconic soundtrack, high-energy performances, and a story that is both clever and uplifting, audiences will be thoroughly entertained from start to finish.”
Overnewton Anglican Community College’s production of We Will Rock You will be showing at the Bowery theatre in St Albans from Thursday, August 7 to Saturday August 9.
Ticket prices range from $20 to $35.
