Our cast and production team had a truly special day this week, travelling to the

Cambridge Theatre in London to see Matilda the Musical — the very show they are

currently working on for our upcoming school performance.

 

The visit gave our students the chance to see first-hand how professional performers

bring a story to life on stage — from the choreography and timing to the energy and

teamwork behind every scene. By the final number, the whole group seemed a little

more inspired, a little more certain about the magic that happens when creativity and

collaboration meet.

 

Syed shared,“I enjoyed watching Matilda so much because it was such a great

opportunity and a surreal experience. It really showed me the amazing side of theatre

and acting — the effort that went in was incredible. It was a life-changing experience

and a special moment to hold on to.”

 

Caitlin reflected,“I enjoyed going to see Matilda because I got to go with my friends and

others who love drama. It was a great opportunity to see a show in a West End theatre.

I thought it was really cool how they staged it — it gave me inspiration for when we

perform it and made me really look forward to our own production.”

 

At Hampton High, we’re proud to offer experiences like these — moments that help

bring learning to life and remind our students what’s possible when creativity, curiosity,

and courage come together.
