What a show! This year’s school production of Legally Blonde The Musical Jr was nothing short of spectacular – it was pink, powerful and positively unforgettable. With four dazzling performances – three evening shows and a special matinee for local primary schools – the production lit up the stage with charm, humour and high-energy brilliance.
Directed by Head of Drama, Mrs Berry and Director of Music, Mrs Sargent, the show followed Elle Woods in what begins as a quest for love but quickly transforms into a journey of self-discovery, empowerment
and staying true to oneself.
“With themes of resilience, friendship and challenging stereotypes, it’s a story that encourages young people to believe in themselves and support one another – values clearly embodied by everyone involved in the production,” said Mrs Berry.
This was truly a whole-school endeavour, with students from across year groups and staff from multiple departments collaborating to bring the show to life.
“From the first rehearsal, the cast and crew poured their passion, creativity and dedication into every moment. Whether on stage or working behind the scenes, in lighting, sound, costume and stage management, their enthusiasm for storytelling was in abundance. What stands out most is the personal growth, new friendships and sheer joy that blossomed throughout the process – memories for a lifetime have been made.” added Mrs Sargent.
The matinee performance was a particular highlight. After the show, the school children had the chance to meet the cast, collect autographs, and share their favourite moments – many left inspired and starry-eyed.
A huge thank you goes out to everyone who supported the production, pupils, staff, families and the wider school community. An enormous congratulations to all involved – together, you created something truly special.
With its inspiring message and seamless execution, Legally Blonde The Musical Jr proved that Withington really is the place where girls shine.
