I’ve been a primary class teacher and music teacher for 29 years, and in all that time Dazzle! is the best musical any school has ever performed! It’s fun, full of amazing songs, has a great heart-warming storyline – tinged with sadness but with a happy ending – and there are some very funny characters.
Most recently, I put on this musical in a primary school with 90 Key Stage 2 pupils, ranging from Years 3 to 6. I am in a rural mixed-age school, so our top class (Year 5/6) took the main roles, and the rest of the children were in the choir, dancing or taking some of the smaller non-speaking roles. Like most primary schools, we didn’t have any kind of budget to put on this performance, so we relied on parents and other members of the school community to help with costumes and staging, and the children made or collected all the props.
