Padwa’s 10th Anniversary Music Theatre celebrations
Location
About
🎭 PADWA IS TURNING 10! 🎉
And we’re celebrating by bringing it all full circle. ❤️ Ten years ago, PADWA began with just 15 students, & a big idea. One of our very first workshops was with the incredible Rachael Beck — star of Cats & Beauty & the Beast with ( Hugh Jackman). Not long afterwards, Rachael introduced me to Christopher Horsey.… who better than one of the legendary TAP DOGS and Star of the film “ The Bootmen” to mentor our talent. Interestingly Rachael and Chris have been friends since their youth , competing against each other in dance competitions !
So it feels incredibly fitting that, 10 years after Rachael & Chirs helped PADWA start this journey, they will both be back together for our biggest celebration yet. ❤️.
For the 5th year we have challenged our students to learn a Broadway musical in one week :
Previous shows include:
Newsies jr
Drowsey Chaperone Jr
Guys an Dolls jr
42nd Street youth
And this year (Mary Poppins jr) which will kickstart our weekend celebrations.
