Wicked - January 2025

On Thursday 9 January 40 students and 5 staff went to see Wicked in London for an opportunity to see a live performance of one of the setworks studied at GCSE Music.

The show briefly had to stop due to an actor being unwell, requiring a last minute understudy to take their place. She did a phenomenal job before as Elphaba and performed an amazing rendition of Defying Gravity where many students were overcome with emotion by the end of Act 1.

Many have been inspired to perhaps work in the musical theatre industry in future as either performers onstage or musicians in the pit band. Students had an amazing time and enjoyed comparing the performance to the recent film.

Thanks to all the staff who helped!
