You Can't Stop The Beat Performance 2 (Xmas Concert)

Singing & Dancing Rehearsals Assignment(s) 4 & 5
Musical Theatre B8

Scenario: Your theatre group is looking to put on a musical theatre performance for a charity event and now must attend rehearsals to make sure everyone is ready for the performance night!

Below is final outcome of rehearsals (take 2).  Original performance was on Sunday 2nd October 2011 at Rickmansworth Watersmeet Theatre for MSH Got Talent.  Video is not very good quality, so students performed again at School Xmas Concert on 07/12/11 on a much smaller stage and with considerably lacking technical facilities.  This meant that they had to re-choreograph and stage certain elements to allow this performance to happen.
