Little Shop Of Horrors is a musical hit with thrilling performances

One of the highlights of the year in the school calendar is our annual musical. This year did not disappoint as our talented cast of students thrilled audiences with four outstanding performances of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’.

For the first performance, we welcomed Year 6 students from local primary schools to inspire them to pursue an interest in the arts when they start Bourne Academy in September. There were three further performances packed with the local school community of family, students and staff.

The story of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ follows a meek floral assistant, Seymour Krelborn, who stumbles across a new breed of plant he names ‘Audrey II’ – after his co-worker crush. This exotic plant proves good for business, but gradually he’s horrified to learn that it craves blood and flesh and must satisfy its appetite. The original play has been thrilling audiences since the 80’s when it first appeared on the Broadway and West End and it has now graced the stage at Bourne Academy!

Our students never fail to deliver ‘first class’ performances and the audience were treated to superb singing, dancing and acting skills on stage along with fantastic tech and puppeteering. This was complemented with our incredible live band who add an extra dimension to the show.
