many sound effects throughout the show.”

children in two matinee performances.
As well as designing the dance moves Rabann Makepeace, and Zara Watton took to the stage to perform them, as a particularly prickly Rizzo and a suitable ditzy Frenchy respectively.
Christopher Young took on the role of Danny with typical suave style and Lauren McClenaghan played a wholesome (to begin with anyway) Sandy with a great level of maturity. Special mention must also go to Jack McCook, who stepped into the role of Kenickie at very short notice, an made it seem like he’d been playing the role for months.
