Budding stars of a musical theatre charity are staging two classic shows in East Kilbride this month.
Encore Star Academy is bringing Disney favourite The Little Mermaid Jr and edgy musical Cry-Baby to the Village Theatre.
The registered charity offers acting, singing and musical theatre lessons as well as lots of other opportunities to youngsters in and around East Kilbride.
‘Edgier than Grease and funnier than West Side Story’, Cry-Baby is an all out rockabilly musical set in 1950’s Baltimore, where the delinquent ‘drapes’ face off against the squeaky clean ‘squares’.
A classic Disney tale, The Little Mermaid Jr takes an enchanting look under the sea where a mermaid named Ariel dreams of the world above the sea and gives up her voice to find true love.
