Greendown hits the spot light!



Greendown School is now going to start a new production of the well known play, Bugsy Malone!
Auditions were held on the 19th September where each auditionee performed a section of the play to Mrs Burke. She has chosen James Wood as Bugsy, Faye Rogers as Blousey Brown, and Danni Soffe as Tallulah. We decided to talk to Mrs Burke on her views of the stage show.

Interview with Mrs. Burke
How long have you wanted to do a production with the school?
“I guess I’ve been thinking about it since I joined Greendown four years ago. I waited until I knew pupils better and the creative arts were strong enough to help each other out.”

Why Bugsy Malone?
“I think the production is really good fun and includes boys and girls parts. I love the songs and can’t wait to use the splurge guns!”

What inspired you?
“I Love singing and Musicals and I also starred in a production of Bugsy Malone when I was at School!”

When do you think the Play will be performed?
“I’m really hoping the play will be ready for March 2009.”


Was it hard to decide who played who?
“It was very hard because there were so many great auditions! I also had to decide who will fit the part.”


Do you think the production will be a success?
“Hopefully! I think it will because pupils at Greendown are really talented and have shown real enthusiasm to get involved!”


Thanks Mrs Burke! We are really looking forward to seeing it!
