PERFECT PITCH
Starring the Broadway Stars & Broadway Stars Plus!
12 June 2018
Perfect Pitch, the closing show of Sing’theatre Academy’s summer season, was devised around the students of the Broadway Stars and Broadway Stars Plus classes, harnessing their unique talents and skills in singing, acting and dancing to stage a show that would bring out the best in each performer. Sing’theatre Academy has grown immensely year after year since its conception in 2014, and so this year director TJ Taylor sought to push the students to greater heights and set them a creative challenge: working together to build a piece of theatre that would give each student ownership over the creation of the show.
Perfect Pitch follows the stories of three very different schools and their journey in preparation for the biggest singing and dancing competition in town yet: Perfect Pitch. The schools, Delta Nu, Horace Green, and the High School of Performing Arts, each come with their own unique set of students who work hard to contest for first place in the competition. Throughout the rehearsal process in the Sing’theatre Academy studio, students from each class were given the task of creating and refining their characters to fit the show.
From these rigorous sessions of improvisation and conceptualization, the Broadway Stars 4 students came up with the Delta Nus, a group of popular high school cheerleaders who proved they would do anything to get to the top.
Next came Horace Green, a quirky group of boarding school students that was the brainchild of the Broadway Stars 1 class. Through improvisation during rehearsals, they came up with zany characters that made audiences laugh, from a foreign exchange student who constantly stood out in the strict boarding school environment, to a fashionista that stole the show with her sassy quips.
Last but not least, the Broadway Stars Plus charmed us with their own creation: the High School of Performing Arts, an elite and highly competitive arts school. The group did not fail to impress audiences with their dazzling choreography and eccentric mix of characters, from a tone-deaf wannabe diva, to drama school geeks fangirling over Broadway celebrities.
