The curtains have fallen, the stage lights have dimmed, and the echoes of applause still resonate throughout our School.  

Our Years 5 and 6 Musical, Seussical JR. was a remarkable success this week. The Musical showcased the talent and determination of our students, cast into groups – Thing 1 and Thing 2 to ensure all our Years 5 and 6 students could participate.  

The Jamie and Rebecca Gray Theatre provided the perfect setting for this production. Its state-of-the-art facilities allowed our performers to shine. With well-crafted sets, impressive costumes, and a dedicated crew behind the scenes, the Theatre transformed into a world of imagination and wonder. 

The Musical’s plot centered around the mischievous adventures of beloved characters from the world of Dr. Seuss. Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, the Cat in the Hat, and a colourful ensemble of others mesmerised the audience. The students’ skillful acting, singing, and dancing brought these characters to life, captivating everyone in attendance. The dedication of our talented casts were evident. They created an unforgettable experience for all to enjoy. 

Under the guidance of our devoted teachers, Miss Kirrilly Wootton, Ms Kristen Dhono Isworo, and Ms Lucy Mason, the production came together seamlessly. Their expertise, patience, and passion for the arts were evident in every aspect of the Musical. They mentored and nurtured our students, ensuring they reached their full potential and delivered performances that exceeded expectations. 

Production week comprised three shows, each performed over two evenings and one day. The casts worked diligently to perfect their performances, rehearsing extensively to bring their characters to life and deliver a polished production. The commitment and effort of our students is commendable. It was wonderful to witness their perseverance and hard work received with appreciative applause from the audiences across all the performances. 

We extend our gratitude to the parents, guardians, and friends who supported our students throughout their journey. Your presence in the audience, cheering them on, added to the electric atmosphere and made the experience more special. 

As we reflect on Seussical JR. we are reminded of the power of creativity, teamwork, and the magic of live performance. The memories created on stage will last a lifetime for our students, along with the valuable skills they developed throughout the rehearsals and performances. 

Congratulations to our Thing 1 and Thing 2 casts, crew, and production team for their achievements. Our Junior School Musical showcased the remarkable talents and dedication of our students and staff in Barbreck. Thank you to everyone involved in making Seussical JR. a memorable success!
