On Tuesday 12 November AS and A Level Dance, Music and Theatre Studies students visited The Regent Theatre to watch a performance of West Side Story. After the show lucky AS Theatre student Billie Ingrid Brighters met members of the cast.With ground breaking choreography by the legendary Jerome Robbins, book by Arthur Laurents, an unforgettable score by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, West Side Story changed the face of musical theatre for ever.
Leading the talented new cast is Katie Hall as Maria and Louis Maskell as her star-crossed lover Tony. Katie has most recently played Christine in the national tour of Phantom of the Opera and Cosette in Les Miserables at the Queen’s Theatre in the West End, while Louis has previously appeared in the national tour of Scrooge -The Musical.
Natalie Weatherer, Curriculum Leader AS/A2 theatre studies and AS media studies at NULC, said: "It was an amazing performance for the students to see as it had not been on tour in the UK for 5 years! It’s great for our students to see a West End performance in Staffordshire."
