YOUNGSTERS from a performing arts school in Bournemouth took centre stage at West End theatre.

Pupils from Stagecoach Theatre Arts Bournemouth sang, danced and acted out showtunes from iconic musicals at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London.

Stagecoach Bournemouth Principal Peta Moffitt said: “I am delighted that pupils from my school had the opportunity to perform at this iconic venue.

“Everyone has had a brilliant time rehearsing for the production and it was great to see them on stage.”

Aspiring stars from the Bournemouth-based group were joined by pupils from other Stagecoach schools across the country during the show.

Together they performed hits from popular musicals including Hairspray, We Will Rock You and Les Miserables.

Peta added: “Performances like this showcase the hard work of our students, providing them with memorable experiences and life skills which they can use throughout their careers.”

Bournemouth Stagecoach School is part of a network of more than 600 part-time Theatre Arts Schools Worldwide.
