A group of talented, young performers from Starbrite Studios School of Performing Arts successfully presented “Elf Jr the Musical” to 340 people at The Hayward Theatre in Beverley during December 2017.
The musical featured 60 Starbrite students, aged between 3 and 16 years, who are all dedicated to acting, singing, and dancing.
The musical was directed by Emma Bailey-Hague, Creative Director and Principal at Starbrite Studios, who has a wealth of experience mentoring and delivering pre-vocational training at the highly successful school since 2001.
Not only did she run her own successful cabaret troupe, ‘Wicked,’ in which she performed alongside two other dancers touring around large corporate events and sporting events, but she also toured with the winner of BBC’s ‘Star for a Night’, Mark Kerrins, performing vocals and choreography to sell-out audiences.
Emma Bailey-Hague said;
“With catchy songs, fun characters, and bold dance arrangements which had people talking long after the show was over, Starbrite students presented this lovable story in an unforgettable way which encouraged each of us to approach each day with goodwill, wonder and cheer.”
“From the first rehearsal, the students worked together as a team and created this wonderful experience which audiences thoroughly enjoyed.”
“All the students performed wonderfully, and everyone is very proud of the hard work they have put in.”
Friends, family and the local community supported the students with audience members saying:
“It was incredible! What amazing little performers! Thank you so much to the Starbrite team – you are all absolute stars!” – Victoria
Zoe said: “Well done to all the boys and girls. You all did fantastically!! We loved the show.”
Jason, a very proud Dad, said: “Well done to everyone for putting on another stunning performance!”
