There will be two matinee performances on Saturday, February 17 and Sunday, February 18 at Westbourne House School, Chichester.

Ana Carmona, one of the mums, said: “For the children involved in the performance – I can see this in my daughter – this is the culmination of months of practice and rehearsal.

“The experience and the excitement of taking part in a large production is something they will remember for the rest of their lives, as we will as audience.

“Art and music are critical for our youth: a creative way of expressing one’s talents, energy and emotion, while providing great mental and educational benefits.”

“The production was originally staged in 2012 to great acclaim, involving boys and girls, as well as parents in support and even some fathers on stage!

“Once again Westbourne House School’s state-of-the-art stage and auditorium is the venue for this exciting performance.
