This week, 50 Performing Arts students went to the Liverpool Empire to watch the Olivier, Tony and Grammy award winning Best Musical, Dear Evan Hansen, which tells the story of Evan, a teenage boy who suffers with social anxiety and struggles to fit in. He makes the mistake of continuing with a lie that eventually spirals out of control, but allows him to befriend others along the way and connect with people.

It was a fantastic production with students enjoying the pitch perfect singing, intricate choreography and powerful ensemble work. The show was particularly valuable to Year 12 and 13 who will study it as part of their A-Level drama course.
