What a performance!
After 6 months of hard work, the children at PQA Aylesbury took to the stage at The Waterside Theatre in front of a full house to perform We Will Rock You Young@Part.
The audience were on their feet as the children performed their encore, a 15-minute medley of Queen songs allowing all children their moment on the mic.
The feedback we have had from both audience and backstage has been overwhelming and the enjoyment on the children’s faces was clear to see. The atmosphere was electric!
‘It was a pleasure; your students are a credit to you.’ – Alicia Walker, Stage Manager
‘Wow, what a show – didn’t they do well! Your students are lovely, so polite and talented you must all be feeling proud. Incredible to sell nearly 1000 tickets too! They totally owned that stage.’ – Neil, sound technician
‘You’ve really brought her out of her shell’, parent of red group student. ‘Thank you for putting it all together and giving them a platform to perform’.
‘Neither of my two have been ‘drama kids’ – but late in the day they wanted to give PQA a try. You guys let them join… and they went home feeling like West End stars. Major memory right there!’
‘…we’re so proud that at just 7 he’s had this incredible opportunity and been part of something very special! Thank you for what you do’.
‘The work you must have done in pulling that all together must have been monumental so well done and thank you!! It was better than the west end ones 👌’
‘What a show, what an academy, what an ENORMOUS achievement!! We were all absolutely blown away tonight — it was sensational. Entirely I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E!! There simply aren’t enough superlatives in the dictionary!!’
‘…had the best experience to be able to perform at our fantastic home turf theatre that we visit often. She cannot believe she has been backstage! Her smile on her face said it all and we cannot wait for her to grow up on the PQA journey doing what she loves! Here’s to the next performance’.
‘…to see her confidence grow and her thrive in the performance on Sunday as so fantastic. I’m so glad we found PQA it’s been a lifeline…’
