The 2025 College Musical is Finally Announced!
For months students have been speculating on what could be High Tunstall’s next school production. Students constantly bombarding staff members, trying to trick us into giving off clues as to what the next musical will be and trying to spy on teachers cupboards to get a glimpse of a script. Staff were well onto the students though, and played our own tricks to steer students away from guessing the correct production; we left scripts out in classrooms, sang songs as we walked around the building, and gave very misleading clues.
The countdown officially started in January with many students attending after school to see which musicals had been dropped before the final reveal in the theatre on Tuesday 28th January.
The atmosphere within the theatre when the final announcement of Matilda was revealed was electrifying.
A week later, 64 students attended the open auditions hoping to secure a main role. The talent that was in the room was nothing short of astonishing, with many staff who came to the auditions speculating “I don’t know how you are going to make this decision” and “I got quite emotional during that song”.
We now are in a position we haven’t been in for many years… call-backs. A small selection of students are going to have to learn a new song and perform again.
The final cast reveal will be available to students by Thursday 13th February 3pm.
We are looking forward to working with all of our extremely talented students and seeing what amazing performances we can achieve this year.
Matilda the Musical will be performed at High Tunstall College of Science in the Theatre on Monday 7th, Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th July.
