Schoolchildren of the Deutsche Internationale Schule Johannesburg learners explored their musical theatre side in the musical Manhattan.
The cast was full of talent, enthusiasm and professionalism from grade 3 to 12 children. The fast-paced narrative, strong characters and artistically talented dancers made it two exciting evenings of musical theatre.
The production is based on the darkly twisted world of misplaced celebrity. It’s a show rich with leading roles, both big and small. Thanks go to the gifted scriptwriter and director Bianca Schulte-Brader, choreographer and dance teachers Mandy Newell and technical director Devon Welmers.
The standard was elevated from a high-school production to a polished performance.
