Somervale School’s Drama and Music Department cast a spell on its audience in an entrancing performance of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast performed over three nights in July with an extra dress rehearsal performance to 250 local primary students from Welton, Midsomer Norton Primary, St John’s and High Littleton.
The show was the most ambitious production at the school for some years involving a live orchestra, dancing, singing and acting. It was received to standing ovations on each night.
Cathie Evans, Assistant Headteacher, who produced the show said: “Immense credit has to go to the cast, production team and band who put together a really sophisticated show. The students really showcased their talents and created a musical of great quality. Special thanks to Mr Kehoe, our director, who brought all the talents on display together in a coherent and inspiring performance.”
Mark Kenny, Deputy Headteacher, said: “The production really created a tremendous buzz of excitement in the school, we are already talking about what next. It is fantastic to see such great talent performing on our stage again.”
