“We are looking forward to this year’s musical. It is great to see so many showing an interest. It is the largest cast we have ever had,” said Principal of Calasanctius College, Córa Ní Loinsigh, ‘It is uplifting to see so much joy and happiness in the students faces as they practice and prepare for this wonderful show.’

The show features choreography by Caroline Cawley and Hannah Wright of Stageworks and the musical direction of Ger Madden .
