GREASE IS THE WORD
GREASE IS THE WORD
Grease was the word recently at Birkenhead School when Bushell Hall was transformed into Rydell High and back to the 1950s for the musical production of ‘ Grease ’. Students performed the high-energy , rock n ’ roll high school musical to sell-out audiences over a twoweek period . Students from Seniors took to the stage as ‘ T-Birds ’ and ‘ Pink-Ladies ’ to sing the classics such as ‘ Greased Lightning ’ and ‘ Summer Nights ’.
Birkenhead School ’ s music productions are renowned within the School and wider community for their quality and professionalism , with many months of hardwork and dedication , going in to make each show surpass expectations . Students are given opportunities to take on roles on the stage performing as well as back-stage , assisting and leading on other aspects such as light and sound , or playing in the School orchestra . Students from years 7 to 9 will be performing ‘ Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat ’ and year 6 will be performing ‘ Hoodwinked ’, the Robin Hood musical as part of the School ’ s ‘ Birkonian Week ’ celebrations at the end of June .
