The Show Must Go On

09 August – 09 August

An evening of musical theatre magic brought to you by some of the best performers from across South Wales, celebrating the spirit of the musical theatre community and showing how they come together through adversity. Unfortunately, the Sharon Higgins Academy of Dance have been let down by the company that were booked to take them to Euro Disney to perform, and are left them in an impossible situation to raise a large amount of money that has already been paid by the parents. As a team we will rise out of this stronger and our mission is to ensure our children and young performers are able to perform at Disney. Thank you so much for your support in this and watching this concert ♥️🎭
