Broadway Comes To Hunstanton

Music lovers are in for a treat, when Broadway comes to Hunstanton Town Hall on Thursday 3 April, courtesy of the young talents of Smithdon High School.
Smithdon Salutes Broadway is a celebration of films and musicals, and will feature performances from students across Years 7 to 10 at the school, which is part of the West Norfolk Academies Trust.
“Students will be performing songs from movies and musicals,” said Andrea Barnes, who is Head of Music at Smithdon, and organiser of the evening.
“I believe this is the third or fourth year of our spring concert being a night celebrating music from film and stage.”
Students will also be working behind the scenes to provide refreshments at the show, while supporting staff will include Deputy Headteacher Sarah Robinson, and peripatetic teachers Dan Ashby, Becky Harrington, and David Maddison.
An audience of around 150 people is expected, with donations collected on the door.
“Events like this are important to show the community all of the amazing work our students are doing here at Smithdon, and to give students an opportunity to develop their confidence, as they get up to perform for a large audience,” added Mrs Barnes.
“Concerts are an amazing way to showcase our school values of ‘Work Hard, Be Kind, and Smile’.”
Smithdon Salutes Broadway is at 6pm on Thursday 3 April in Hunstanton Town Hall.
