High school students from ACS International School Hillingdon recently put on a razzle dazzle teen edition performance of the Broadway hit, Chicago, taking the audience back to the “Roaring 20s”.
The entire production was curated by the school’s students, from music, lighting, stage production, and choreography.
Student Rhianna M., who played the iconic role of Velma Kelly, said: “Being part of the school production of Chicago has not only allowed me to develop my creativity and teamwork skills, but it has also helped me to grow as an individual by building my confidence, resilience and ability to express myself in new ways.”
Katerina S Sleiman, the Production Director of the performance, said: “Directing and choreographing our school production of Chicago has been an exhilarating journey of creativity and collaboration; bringing this iconic musical to life requires a mix of precision, passion and teamwork. From teaching fosse-inspired choreography to shaping the storytelling with direction, the students have embraced every challenge with energy and commitment. Watching their growth, from mastering come complex dance sequences to embodying the compelling characters and singing with jazz flare and harmony has been extremely rewarding.”
