Review Weekend

It's come around very quickly this time around, but it is once again Review weekend! The WEK's, supported by WEK: Training take to the stage at the Mitre Theatre to present material from what has been a very gruelling term - necessary to prepare for the demands of May - July 2009.

At the Mitre Theatre on Sunday, the WEK's will perform a variety of musical numbers including: Welcome To The 60's, Bigger Isn't Better, Angels, I Will Follow Him, Anything You Can Do, Defying Gravity, Disco Medley, Hello Dolly, Listen, Both Reached For The Gun, All For One, Cabaret, King Of New York, In Whatever Time We Have, Two People In Love, Sing Sing Sing, With One Look, Children Will Listen, Forbidden Broadway Medley (Hilarious!) & We'll Take A Glass Together. WEK: Training will perform Lambeth Walk and Time Of Your Life / Fun.

We have rehearsed really hard for this review and I'm really confident that everyone attending will really enjoy the WEK's efforts. We'll report back after the event and - as per usual, videos, audio and images will available shortly after the performance for those who were unable to make it.
Our attentions quickly turn to the following term, as WEK prepare to perform at West End Live 2009, Dreamflight, the M.A.D.D Festival a Review Performance and also a commercial cast recording for the Dreamflight Charity. All in the space of 2 months!

We have been preparing the WEKs hard for this gruelling standard and they are fitter, sharper and more capable of handling the workload than they ever have been before. We have just released the musical material for May - July which includes: Ragtime Medley, Miss Saigon Medley, Ever AFter, I Wish I May, The Boyfriend, Luck Be A Lady, Cross The Line, Thoroughly Modern Millie, One Day More, Rhythm of Life, The Best of Times, Dancing Fool, They Can't Take That Away from Me, 42nd Street, 60's Medley, Seussical Medley, Jekyll & Hyde Medley and a Broadway Medley.

That is one hell of a challenge for 8 weeks rehearsal - but one I know all the existing WEKs are looking forward to, and also one that we must be sure that any new WEKs auditioning on April 26th are able to handle.

There are still audition spaces available for youngsters aged 10-18yrs who want to audition, either for the main WEK Company or for WEK: Training. There are also spaces remaining on the WEK: UK and WEK: Training summer courses. To register for an audition call Emma in the office on 0208 123 2025, email auditions@westendkids.co.uk or register online.

Wish us luck for our review - and our very own Holly-Anne with her Disney adventure in the My Camp Rock competition (Disney Channel 5.35pm on Fridays)

We will report back soon!!
