Musical Theatre plays a vital role in the RGSHW Music Department. Each year, we connect with local schools and theatre companies to gather the best cast possible for these performances.

This Year - Shrek

Shrek and his trusty sidekick Donkey set out on a quest to defeat the fearsome dragon and rescue the beautiful Princess Fiona. With a heart-warming story and a cast of unforgettable characters, this musical extravaganza is a journey not to be missed. The show is set to a toe-tapping soundtrack featuring fabulous songs like 'I'm A Believer', 'Big Bright Beautiful World' and 'I Know It's Today'. These tunes will have you humming all the way home. It's the perfect night out for the whole family.

 

The Producers

"A down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! Follow the antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they manoeuvre their way through finding a show, hiring a director, and raising the money. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become best friends."

School of Rock

​"Based on the hit film, this hilarious new musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. While teaching these pint-sized prodigies what it means to truly rock, Dewey falls for the school’s beautiful, but uptight headmistress, helping her rediscover the wild child within."

In The Heights

"Encounter the many colourful residents of Washington Heights -- a New York City neighbourhood on the brink of change. The scent of warm coffee hangs in the air just outside of the 181st St. subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies a vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is a likable and magnetic bodega owner who hopes, imagines and sings about a better life."

West Side Story

"Love at first sight strikes when young Tony spots Maria at a high school dance in 1957 New York City. Their burgeoning romance helps to fuel the fire between the warring Jets and Sharks -- two rival gangs vying for control of the streets."

Les Miserables

"After 19 years as a prisoner, Jean Valjean is freed by Javert, the officer in charge of the prison workforce. Valjean promptly breaks parole but later uses money from stolen silver to reinvent himself as a mayor and factory owner. Javert vows to bring Valjean back to prison. Eight years later, Valjean becomes the guardian of a child named Cosette after her mother's death, but Javert's relentless pursuit means that peace will be a long time coming."
