We are delighted to celebrate our third year of English-language musicals!
This is a truly magical experience where children engage with the language naturally, as if it were their own, through play, expression, and joy.
In this project, everyone takes the stage: every student is part of the performance, and each family plays a fundamental role, supporting the process from the creation of costumes to the final production of Alice in Wonderland. It is a shared effort between the school, the children, and their families, bringing us together as a community around a common goal.
With the start of auditions, we begin to bring to life a story that encourages curiosity and self-confidence in overcoming challenges. Alice in Wonderland reminds us that there are no limits to imagination when we work together, turning this musical into a true celebration where each child’s effort flourishes in an environment of learning, creativity, and joy.
At Saint George’s School, Madagascar the Musical is much more than a fun and colourful performance. While the story unfolds within the walls of a zoo, we want to emphasise that we do not celebrate or validate the idea of animals living in captivity. On the contrary, we recognise that the zoo is simply an imaginative backdrop — a playful excuse — that allows the characters’ adventures to bring forward meaningful messages about friendship, freedom, teamwork, and finding one’s true place in the world.
Through the journey of Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria, our students are invited to explore profound themes such as the value of freedom, the importance of daring to dream, and the strength that comes from supporting one another. As the animals break away from the zoo, their escape becomes more than just a comic adventure: it transforms into a symbol of discovery, personal growth, and the search for identity. It reminds us all that stepping outside of our comfort zones, while often uncertain or even frightening, is the path towards real learning and self-discovery.
The Addams Family story is about accepting people who are different. It shows how love and respect can make anything possible. Wednesday Addams falls in love with Thomas, a boy from school. Thomas comes from a very different family than Wednesday's. His family follows normal social rules, while Wednesday's family is very unusual.
Wednesday tries to fit in and be more like other people. She tries different ways to make others like her. In the end, she learns that the best thing to do is just be herself. Ultimately, she discerns that authenticity is paramount. The tale eloquently conveys that our idiosyncrasies are not flaws to be concealed, but rather unique attributes to be celebrated.
This production by St. George's Primary School offers a delightful blend of wit, melody, and edification. It serves as a poignant reminder that diversity enriches our world, and that genuine harmony is achieved not through conformity, but by embracing our distinctive qualities.
We wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Rodrigo Garmendia and Luis Musetti for their invaluable contributions. Our sincere appreciation also goes out to our dedicated teachers, supportive families, and all the members of our school who lent their time and talents to this production.
