Showtime for talented students at Sheffield City Hall!

One of the stand out films of this year had to be The Greatest Showman about PT Barnum and the creation of his circus and the lives of its star attractions.

The theme running throughout the film was how performing can bring magic to the audience and help the artists to believe in who they really are. These ideals are what the young performers in Sheffield held on to throughout the months of rehearsals and preparations for their show held on 16th and 17th June at The Sheffield City Hall as they put on a show to remember!

The cast all attend Razzamataz Sheffield and the whole school played a part in the show which was called Razz Around The World! The annual performance gives students a chance to demonstrate what they learn each week in classes and shows off the whole Razzamataz curriculum that features traditional West End musical theatre through to pop singing, street dance and acting for stage and screen.

There really was something to appeal to everyone in the annual show and the cast worked together to produce something that even PT Barnum would be proud of. “The months of rehearsals, costume fittings and organisation really makes sense when you see the children and young people perform,” says, Helen Bell, Principal of Razzamataz Sheffield. “The process of putting on a show is a wonderful way of teaching young people about teamwork, collaborating and sharing ideas, why practice is important and pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone.”

Some of the key moments in the show included a carnival party opening where the students danced through the audience with streamers whilst other students performed on stage to some classic songs such as Hot, Hot, Hot and Conga! 

The audience had a terrific time and appreciated the work that the staff and young cast put in to produce such a slick show.  Typical of many of the testimonials received was one from parent of two students in their Inter and Senior classes:

“What a wonderful experience you gave the children this weekend. I saw some amazing talent and it was lovely to see those that have caught my eye in previous shows growing in all ways.The children looked like they all knew what they were doing and most importantly all looked like they were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Both my kids live for Thursdays and Saturdays as it’s Razzamataz day! They have both grown in confidence and made some lovely friendships with their peers.’’

 

The Razzamataz annual show gives students the chance to audition for various roles and allows each performer the opportunity to shine. The experience of performing is something that helps students to become more confident individuals and teaches them the art of communication.
