This year’s Christmas production at Cockburn School was Legally Blonde. The show was seen by a total audience of 1,000 people at four evening performances and one matinee for local primary schools.
We went along to the matinee which was attended by pupils from Hugh Gaitskell, Park View, Hunslet Carr and Middleton Primary Schools. During the interval we spoke to Hareem, Delma, David and Jacob, all Year 5 pupils at Hugh Gaitskell Primary School. We asked them what they if they had enjoyed the first half of the show, David said:
“I thought it was absolutely fantastic. I liked the movement, it was very smooth, clean and it happened really fast. I also liked how they had all memorised their lines and the singing is amazing, they’ve put a lot of effort into it. I’m looking forward to the second half.”
Delma added:
“It’s really creative and I loved the music. I was so shocked when Elle’s ex-boyfriend proposed to her.”
After the show we caught up with the lead actors to hear about their experiences of being in the show:
