I put this up because the show was well...
entertaining.
It was Wanganui High's Junior School production, rotated second yearly with the whole school's major musical.
Having followed a couple of nephews through their time at the school, I'm amazed by the depth of theatrical and musical talent they showcase, ever a major thumbs-up for Wanganui youth talent.
This show was an hilarious hotch-potch of fairytale characters, Beanstalk Jack, Peter Pan, Goldilocks, Snow White, the dwarves, Mary, the Giant, the Wicked Witch, the Ugly Sisters, you name it, very well written.
The kids acted with great infectious enthusiasm, and portrayed their respective character nuances to much amusement by the audience, maybe even extemporising a little of their own.
For a school production, the costuming was outstanding.
And as always, the orchestral contribution was sure-noted and talent ridden for so young a group.
Well done Wanganui High, and another feather in the cap of the tutors involved. The school's been blessed with an exceptional music/drama dept over recent years.
