On Tuesday 16th July and Wednesday 17th July, KAA brought Charles Dickens’ classic tale of Oliver Twist to life in the musical Oliver! The cast performed two matinees for local primary schools and Year 7 students, and two evening performances to packed audiences of students, parents and staff. From the very first rehearsal to the final curtain call the cast poured their hearts and souls into this production.

Every single cast member, band musician and crew member were fantastic, but a special mention must go to our Oliver (Kamil, 7 PORTLOCK), Fagin (Gabriel, 12 SIRLEAF), Nancy (Violeta, 9 WONDER), Artful Dodger (Timothy, 7 WILLIAMS), and Bill (Niamh, 12 MAATHAI) for their flawless performances in the principal roles. Our audiences were blown away by the professional performance by the full cast and crew.

A special thanks to the KAA Intrepidus Trust, Delancey, Dancing Ledge, Fremantle and The Earl’s Court Development Company for their continued support of the Performing Arts at KAA. It is this support which makes school productions at this level possible.
