Platform is in full Christmas mode with rehearsals well underway for Cinderella which takes to the stage next Tuesday 5 December - with a 30 strong run of day and evening shows (closes Sat 23 Dec).
We're delighted to announce our cast and share some rehearsal pictures ahead of opening day.
As part of the show we have once again welcomed HND Musical Theatre students from Glasgow Kelvin College to provide the ensemble to support our lead cast. The students study at our neighbouring Easterhouse campus and over the 3 week run of the show are formed into 3 groups, each group performing in the show a week at a time.
Dimitrios Paparakis, Lecturer of Performing Arts (Dance & Movement) who choreographed the show said: "Glasgow Kelvin College is excited about the involvement of our students in the show and for me personally, it's been fantastic working collaboratively as the choreographer.
"It is an exciting project and learning experience for our Musical Theatre students working closely with industry creatives and performers. Learning in the studio and preparing for the stage are invaluable parts of the process, as well as having the opportunity to perform to audiences. We wish everyone involved the best of luck with the run”.
Musical Theatre student Lauren Kelly said: “Being part of a Christmas panto production has really been an amazing opportunity. I have faced new challenges, worked with such a fantastic production team and incredible actors. I have learned a great deal from this experience that I will carry with me - I am so grateful to have been asked to help support this show".
