The stage is set for Highfields’ latest stage spectacular, The Addams Family - with a few tickets still remaining through our brand new online Box Office.

The school’s Lyceum has been transformed ready for curtain-up on the popular musical, which will run from November 5th-8th and feature students from Years 10-13.

Talented students have been rehearsing for months for the production, which depicts a ghoulish American family with an affinity for all things macabre.

They treated students and staff to a sneak peek of some of the show’s numbers with assembly performances and flash mobs ahead of half term, before giving up some of their holiday to perfect the production.

Ms S Bishop, Highfields’ Head of Extra Curricular Performance, said: “We are so excited for show time! Our students have thoroughly enjoyed being part of the production and we are looking forward to putting on another fantastic show.

“Our flash mobs in school have gone down a storm, as have our assembly performances, which is a great sign and a real boost for our fantastic cast.

“Putting together our shows takes a lot of work over a number of weeks, with the performers and musicians staying after school until 8pm every Thursday as well as some Saturdays, and throughout holidays.

“But the process is always such great fun and a wonderful experience for our students.

“They have all worked incredibly hard to ensure The Addams Family is a success, and we can’t wait to welcome audiences to come along to celebrate their hard work and talent.”

Tickets for the opening night, which starts at 7pm and includes a spectacular fireworks display, cost £10. Tickets for the remaining shows, which start at 7.30pm, cost £8 for adults and £6 concessions.
