THE YEAR 7 DROP DOWN DAY On the recent Drop Down Day, Year 7 went to see Lion King the musical and learn about the qualifications and skills required to put on a major West End show. They spent their morning learning about all of the behind the scene jobs, from wardrobe to carpenters, choreographer to stage manager and how each role impacts the show. Pupils travelled from a variety of stations (Twickenham, Fulwell and Strawberry Hill) to travel to Waterloo and then walked on to the Lyceum theatre in London’s West End, where they then watched the performance.
“I really enjoyed The Lion King. I didn’t like the animated version so I surprised myself when I loved the musical. Going to see the show was really fun and we all can't wait for the next drop- down day.” Elena
The experience was one of a kind & truly spectacular. Everyone was watching the musical from the royal circle. The show was a miraculous mixture of puppets, wonderful acting, notorious songs & unique characters.
They got back home at around 6:10pm and brought back unforgettable memories with them.
