'Truly Scrumptious'... or should we say 'Truly Enjoyable?'
Usually the PUKKA end of term shows are not performed in a 'proper'
theatre, with 'full on' costumes, lighting and sound.
But this one was. In fact it was a 'proper kids show' and it really
demonstrates how much these talented youngsters have progressed
during their time in PUKKA. While many of the children have performed
on stage before, for many this was their first time. And what a
fantastic job they did... confident, cheerful (mostly) and talented!
Yes, there was fidgeting and 'stage whispers', some giggling, and a
bit of waving, but it was all so amusing it simply added to the
overall enjoyment. From the moment the Petites launched into the
acapela version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, you just knew you were
going to be highly entertained. And I don't mean that in a bad way.
OK, children are considered 'sponges' when it comes to learning, but
how impressive to see the volume of song and dance that made up this
show. As well as the ensemble numbers, there were some wonderful solo
performances, and we look forward to more of the children coming
forward to step into the limelight for future productions.
It certainly showcased the progression of performance skills. From
Petites through Potential and into Potential Plus, the confidence and
talent just kept growing and growing... just like the kids, really!
Congratulations, and well done everyone... you really were 'Truly Scrumptious'!
