Thank you to everyone involved, from those in make-up to dress and set design to every member of the band and the team behind all the drinks for parents during the show too. You all helped make this show a sparkling success!

Mr Peak, Director of the show said:

More years ago than I care to remember, I graced the stage of the King’s School’s production of ‘Bugsy Malone’, I will leave it to the audience’s imagination as to which character I was cast as!

When I first arrived at Forres Sandle Manor over 10 years ago, I was saddened to hear that the show had recently been performed. The first time I attempted to stage the show here at our wonderful school, we ended up doing an online performance. I am genuinely delighted that you can all be here in person today.

and Director of Music Miss Green said:

It has been an absolute privilege to work with our wonderful band in these past few days, and with all our talented pupils since rehearsals began in September. Having a live band in a production really ‘lifts’ the show and provides an amazing experience for all the pupils, something that will stay with them for a lifetime. The music for this show is incredibly varied, with slow lilting ballads to fast moving ragtime, coupled with the brilliant choreography from Leila Steven’s (and occasionally by myself!) has really pushed our pupils, but they have risen to the challenge to put on a brilliant show.
