Our talented Performance and Choir students were recently treated to a magical afternoon at Wolverhampton’s Grand Theatre to watch the powerful and moving musical Dear Evan Hansen.
With music by Oscar-winning duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (The Greatest Showman), and a story by Steven Levenson, the show explores themes of identity, mental health, and belonging through the eyes of a high school senior battling social anxiety. Students were captivated by the heartfelt storyline and stunning score but the highlight of the night was still to come.
Taking centre stage in the production was none other than Jessica Lim, a Highfields alumna and former star of our school productions. Many remember her unforgettable performance as Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray when she was just in Year 9!
After the curtain fell, Jessica took time to meet our students, proving that with talent, hard work, and a little Highfields spirit, dreams of the stage really can come true.
It was an unforgettable experience that left our students inspired and excited about the future. Who knows? One day, we might be cheering them on from the audience too.
