Curtains are about to open for the much-anticipated Proserpine State High School ‘rock opera’, ‘Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’.
The big event includes four shows from April 18-20 at the school’s impressive Performing Arts Centre, with catering of delicious food and chilled beverages at all shows.
This entirely student-run production is led by the school’s Seagrass Theatre and Music Company, which is comprised of students from Year 7-12 who do everything from performing on stage to behind-the-scenes directing, producing, designing, technical and playing the music.
This year’s production also comprises a 26-piece orchestra who are sure to ignite audiences with their performances of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice classic songs such as “Any Dream Will Do” and “Song of the King”.
Student Producer and Head of Promotions, Allegra Bradley, said the entire cast and crew are excited to share their hard work with audiences.
“We’re less than two weeks away and you can feel the excitement is building amongst us all to perform,” Allegra said.
“It’s going to be humorous - colourful, bright, and light-hearted.”
With preparations beginning in October last year, the cast and orchestra have been diligent with rehearsals and honing their staging, sound, lighting and scenography skills.
Following a hugely successful production of last year’s musical, ‘Sweet Charity’, which was sold-out every night, Allegra is hoping this years’ response will be the same as it is a show audiences will really enjoy.
