The Sound of Musicals The senior production this term was a variety performance of songs and dance from the most celebrated musicals since 1935. The students' energy and enthusiasm shone through onstage and their performances were professional and captivating. The production was also a fitting tribute to the New Hall which has been the main performance space at Twycross House for the last 40 years. It will be excellent to see what will be on display in the new home - The Kirkpatrick Theatre - with such a talented group of individuals and emerging stars lower down the school.
