Week 9: Run And Tell That + ALD3

Week 8: Clean Up

Hi, I'm Dennis, some may know me as denden or Gilbert in Hairspray!

Dancing, singing and acting was never really my thing, I always enjoyed watching rather than participating. After watching Walton High's previous production of Hercules (really good), I finally found the courage to get involved.

This week was the clean up of all the scenes so far. The only scene I had was being in detention with the lads :( (doesn't really happen in real life by the way).I also videod a little bit of rehearsal so you guys can see what's going on.

 I've got to admit when I first started I wasn't really comfortable with being on stage (a bit of stage fright you know) but now I'm on my way to being the next Seaweed (sorry Dej). Next week is when all the action starts - it's RUN AND TELL THAT, the best song. Do you agree?

I thought this would be the only scene I got excited about but from experiencing the others I strangely find I like all the songs. Yeah so that's my story.

This is Dennis Oduro aka Gilbert reporting for Hairspray.

Week 7: Welcome To The '60s

Hey! I'm Josh and I'm playing Tracy's mum Edna. Yes a woman…

Last week we were rehearsing Welcome to the '60s which is Edna's big reveal scene. The scene is full of life, fun and fashion and we had a ball putting it all together.

This is my sixth production here at Walton High and I love them! But the best part of any production is the new friends and people you meet along the way. Every year it's great to add new people to the show's family.

It’s all coming on quck and it's scary to think that normally we would be perfoming the show in less than 20 days! March isn't seeming that far.

Act one nearly done and the show is taking shape. All very exciting!

But sadly today I had to say goodbye to my chest hair to fully take on the role of Edna… the things I do for my art L

Week 6: It Takes Two

Hey Everyone!

I'm Josh and I play Fender, one of the Nicest Kids in Town.

I'm really enjoying all the rehearsals for Hairspray - I'm so glad I auditioned!

This week we've been rehearsing "It Takes Two" and it's been great and Charles has done really well.

On Wednesday night we went to Oxford to see Hairspray on Tour, which was really useful and has given us the drive to do even better.

I can't wait until March, it seems so far away! The show is only going to get better, so buy your tickets!

Week 5: Autumn Concert

Hey guys I’m Heather and I play the role of Velma Von Tussle.

Not the most liked of characters due to her prejudice opinions but may I say I’m having a blast!

Bring on the boos!

This is the first school production I have been involved in and I was really nervous I wouldn’t fit it but I have met the loveliest people and I’m sure we'll be friends for a long time.

This week we rehearsed for the "Autumn Concert" the first sneak peak of a scene! The audience were great and I think they really loved "I can hear the bells". They gave us so much energy and I’m sure that will help us in upcoming rehearsals.

I’m loving the experience so far and have made so many memories already.

March seems a long way away but bring it on!

Week 4: Miss Baltimore Crabs!

Hi Everyone,

My name's Charles and in our production of Hairspray "I'm Link".

Last week we rehearsed the very loud and dramatic scene 'Miss Baltimore Crabs'. It's really energetic and I thought everybody did a really good job and made it their own. Well done everyone!

My journey in the show so far has been a really new and exciting experience. I haven't ever had a big role like this on such a scale before so every week is a whole new rollercoaster ride, especially the dancing. I have been doing LOADS of extra practise so that (hopefully) I won't fall over straight on my face! So thanks to Lauren for the extra training...

The energy in rehearsals is really hotting up! Well done and keep it up guys! I know I'm really excited about the whole experience, hope you all are too.

See you at the show!

Hairspray ALD - 1st October

Hey there!

I’m Natasha and I play Tracy in our school musical Hairspray. I joined the school last year for sixth form due to my love for performing arts. Watching Walton High's Hercules really inspired me to get involved.  I'm delighted to have been given the chance to play this role, especially because it will be performed in ‘The Venue’ a brand new addition to the school which will take our performances at Walton High to another level.

Rehearsals are already under way and our last ALD day was a great success. We reached the fourth scene, 'I Can Hear The Bells' and already everyone is enjoying the experience! We are all so eager  to learn more steps to the dances and more notes to our songs.
