Musical/Play/Drama
Musical
This year’s production of Beautiful – the Carole King Musical performed and produced by our wonderfully talented students has concluded.
Directed by Performing Arts teacher, Kate Price, the cast took the audience on a captivating journey of music and nostalgia. Carole King’s iconic story came to life as she discovered her voice as a songwriter and singer in the 1960’s.
The show featured many of King’s most famous songs, including I Feel the Earth Move, It’s Too Late, and You’ve Got a Friend, as well as songs by other artists that King wrote for, including The Locomotion and Will You Love Me Tomorrow.
The performances from the Chev cast were an absolute delight, with Ella L carefully bringing out the complex layers of emotions that Carole King had to navigate in her personal life and musical journey.
The musical numbers were exceptionally performed with support from the talented band, leaving audiences to laugh, cry and applaud throughout each performance.
Congratulations to all the team that made the production so enjoyable.
