Burnie High School has been staging a major musical production every two years since 1995.  This year they are staging the Tasmanian premiere of the highly entertaining and visually spectacular musical, Once Upon a Time, at the Burnie Arts and Function Centre in September.

Once Upon a Time features characters from the well-known fairy stories Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel and Rumpelstiltskin. These stories have been very creatively and humorously woven together into a musical production that is sure to delight audiences of all ages.

 

Featuring a cast and crew of over 160 students and a 20 piece band, this musical features a highly entertaining storyline and numerous corny jokes. One of the most appealing features of this production is the musical score that includes a number of very well-known songs from the 1960s through to the 2000s.  The show features the music of artists such as ABBA, Katy Perry, The Proclaimers and John Paul Young to name but a few.

 

The production will run for 2 hours, with a short interval between Act 1 and Act 2.  Penguin District have booked seats for the show:
