Worcester students ‘wow’ in Zorro the musical

The performance by RGS Worcester took place in the school’s Performing Arts Centre.

The musical opened with performances from Molly Postlethwaite, Isabelle Fawcett and Kieran Lilley as young Diego, Luisa, and Ramon conveying the fraught dynamic between the trio.

Director of drama and artistic director at RGS Worcester, Mrs Jilly Witcomb, said: “There is nothing like directing a production that brings the summer heat of Spain and California to a cold Winter’s Evening in Worcester– ‘Zorro’ is probably the most exciting musical that RGS has performed to date.

“It has been a privilege working with such a talented and enthusiastic cast and crew.”

Mr John Pitt, head of RGS Worcester, said: “This is an ambitious production for a school given the wide range of technical requirements from the cast and crew including stage combat and dance. Many congratulations to the pupils and to the drama and music department with our expert choreographer for mastering the moves.

“A production on this scale requires lots of work behind the scenes so thank you to everyone for your hard work and commitment to the arts.”

“With the creative arts thriving at RGS Worcester, it is lovely to bring together so many talented pupils and staff and also to provide a matinée performance for pupils from local state schools including New College Worcester.

“It was very moving to see their pupils’ full engagement with the performance.”

The show also had sword fighting and pyrotechnics.

One audience member said: “We watched the Zorro performance and were blown away at the talent on display.

“It was a fantastic show with outstanding performances, so much so that I forgot I was watching a school production, as it felt like a professional show.”
