Westholme School is hosting it’s latest school production - Miss Saigon: School Edition - a retelling of one of the most iconic musicals ever written – with performances running between 25–29 November.
Featuring a cast of talented students and a full live orchestra, the show will run over several performances and promises to be one of Westholme’s most powerful productions to date.
Inspired by a true story, Miss Saigon follows the journey of Kim, a young Vietnamese woman, whose world is transformed by love, loss, resilience, and the impact of war.
Directors Mrs Roberts-Lyle and Miss Loudonsack said: “Every student involved has dedicated countless hours to understand their characters, embody their journeys, and bring authenticity to this challenging material.”
Students have spent months mastering the demanding musical and dramatic material. It showcases one of the largest student orchestras Westholme has assembled in recent years.
Musical Director Mr Holt praised the pupils’ dedication, adding: “The realisation of such a complex and emotional musical is down to the hard work, talent and dedication of our pupils, Old Westhomians and other friends of the Music Department who thrive in the depths of the orchestra pit.”
