More than 50 local children attended over 20 rehearsals, culminating in the Musical Megamix performances in the impressive surroundings of the Guildhall.
A spokesperson for Pop-Up Productions said: “We had to open up our dress rehearsal on November 6 as a ticketed performance to satisfy demand.
“The show featuring numbers from musicals such as ‘Sister Act’, ‘Six’, ‘Annie’, ‘Les Miserables’ and ‘Chicago’ (the other performances took place on November 7 and November 8) resulted in standing ovations and positive reviews on our Facebook page.”
Other posts on the community organisation’s Facebook page thanked Rise North East and Greaves West & Ayre for their backing, as well as all those who have supported its fundraising activities.
