“We would also like to give a special thanks to our cast and crew and of course our Head of Drama, Mrs Curtis as she’s worked incredibly hard to organise and bring the show to life.

“It’s her first year with us at Rednock and to achieve such an event in her first year is an amazing achievement.”

Head of drama, Sharon Curtis said: “I would like to thank all the members of the school community who have gone over and above to support the drama department with this venture.

“For the people that have made, planned, painted, sewn, accompanied, stuck on sequins and, most importantly, offered support, I want to offer my heartfelt thanks.

“I want to thank members and groups from our local community who have helped, in many ways, to make this show happen.

“To the cast, I want to say a massive thank you. I could not have produced this show without your constant generosity and willingness to go over and above.

“Your bravery, hard work and talent has been inspiring and I am very lucky to work with such amazing young people.”
