Littlehampton teenagers thrilled to have support from Hamilton cast and Heathers star as they perform on West End stage

The cast of 13 the musical from Star Ignited Performance Academy was thrilled to receive a ‘good luck’ video from the cast of Hamilton, currently performing at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London.

There was more excitement when Carrie Hope Fletcher, star of West End show Heathers the Musical, took a seat in the audience.

Maria Prior, who co-ordinated a fundraising campaign to pay for the experience, said: “Our London performance was magical, our cast who really upped their performance, delivered a fantastic show and received a standing ovation from the audience.

“Carrie Hope Fletcher delighted the cast by paying them an after-show visit and the cast got a good luck Twitter video from the cast of Hamilton.

“Our young stars were then given the star treatment by travelling back to Star Ignited Studio in Littlehampton by limousine.

“We would also like to thank everyone who donated and advertised with us. This was an incredible journey for our local young people and one they will never forget.”

The academy received many congratulations after the performance at The Other Palace Theatre last Wednesday.
