West Side Story rehearsals in full swing WCS Wells Cathedral School Independent Prep Somerset England

West Side Story rehearsals in full swing!

On Sunday 13th October the entire cast of West Side Story gathered in Cedars Hall to rehearse ahead of their first run-through of the show the following Thursday afternoon.

Pupils worked hard to realise all of the big numbers in the show, and were excited to see the work each had been doing in smaller groups over the last few weeks. The cast, musicians and production crew are now at the point of threading all the music, dance, drama and singing together and layering the whole ensemble into the full production. The 
West Side Story team of almost 90 individuals cannot wait to show their audiences the result of all of these labours as Wells Cathedral School travels to Strode Theatre in the first week of December. Our thanks to Elizabeth M (Upper Sixth) for capturing the rehearsal.

From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Following the past triumphs of Les Misérables, Disney’s Beauty and the BeastGrease and Chicago at Strode Theatre, Wells Cathedral School return to Strode Theatre for an energetic and dynamic live performance of one of the masterpieces of musical theatre. Tickets are selling incredibly fast for the five performances, so please click here to snap yours up before they sell out! We look forward to welcoming you to the theatre in December.
