Musical at Foxwell State Secondary College is an opportunity for teamwork, perseverance and creativity. Students will extend on their passion and love of performing through musical theatre whilst continuing to develop their skills of performance. In 2022, our musical is “Matilda Jnr"; the magnificent story of a little girl who learnt that she could accomplish anything she put her mind to. This fun, storybook style performance will be a wonderful experience for any student willing to step onto the stage.
Students will need to attend rehearsals each week and commit to these times through a signed contract. Please note, some of these will be later finishes due to technical dress rehearsals. It is expected that all students represent Foxwell SSC by upholding the SPIRIT values in and out of the classroom. Our night time performance dates are Thursday 2nd June and Friday 3rd June 2022.
For the auditions, each student will be required to sing individually and perform the choreographed dance section in small groups. If students wish to audition for a lead role, they will be required to sing that character's specific song and perform acting sections of the script.
If your student is interested in auditioning, please read the attached materials. At this stage, auditions will be held after school on Thursday 2ndDecember from 3.30-4.30pm in the Sports Hall. If you have any further questions, please contact Head of Arts Department Mrs Cara McLennan.
