Phantom of the Opera

With just a week to go until opening night, Phantom continues to attract huge amounts of local and national interest. Tickets went on sale on the morning of Monday 28th November and every performance was sold out by Tuesday 29th! Also on that Tuesday, the HTV Wales evening news camera crew came to school to record a link for that evening’s news programme, creating great excitement. A further honour was bestowed on the cast and crew when Peter Karrie visited the school on Friday 2nd December to coach the principals. This amazing experience has made the team even more determined to produce exceptional performances when the curtains open for the first night on Monday 12th December. |
