Farnham Performing Arts Students Showcase Their Talents On Stage At London Theatre

June 2024: Students from Stagecoach Performing Arts School in Farnham showcased their talents in a showstopping performance at the New Wimbledon Theatre in London, impressing the audience with their performance of a curated medley of broadway classics.

After weeks of hard work and rehearsals, the group starred alongside hundreds of students aged 6 -18 from eight Stagecoach Performing Arts schools across the South East.

The students couldn’t wait to perform an eclectic selection of broadway songs including 'Magic to Do' by Stephen Schwartz, 'Welcome to Wonderland' by Frank Wildhorn, culminating with a dynamic performance of 'Temper Temper' by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. Each performance showcased the students’ depth of talent.

The scale of the beautiful venue and performances serves as a testament to the students’ creativity and courage, inspired by the Principals of each school.

Becky Silverstein, Principal of Stagecoach in Farnham, said “Seeing our students shine on a professional stage in Central London is the ultimate reward for any teacher. Their hard work and perseverance in mastering the intricacies of their set have paid off and they should be very proud of themselves."

A student, reflecting on their performance commented “One of the things I love most about the Stagecoach events is getting to work with students across other classes and making so many new friends. Our performance this weekend was my favourite piece we’ve done to date, with awesome costumes, and a tight-knit group of students!”
