What a night! Following on from the stunning performance of our dancers at Dance Live! with their Let Her Speak piece, Team Performing Arts hit the stage again with the annual celebration of musical theatre that is M Stars!

Expertly hosted by Max, Betty and Madison, the sold-out evening showcased dance, singing and acting; solo, duets, trios and groups; songs from stage, screen and stadium; and students from Year 7 to 13. As a big musicals fan myself, M Stars really hit the spot, including songs from Hamilton, Wicked, Matilda, Grease, Mary Poppins, Tick Tick Boom, Tangled and Frozen amongst many more.

We welcomed back Churchill performing arts alumni Lorin and Tia as our expert guest judges, who awarded the prizes. It really was an impossible choice, such was the array of talent on show – but choose they did! The deserving winners were:

• Superstar Winners: Anna and Mia
• Dance Star: Leah, Mati and Flo
• Rising Star & Audience Award Winners: Billy, Joe and Joey
• Acting Star: Will
• Group Star: The Year 7 Dance Club
• Singing Star: Maisie
• Music Star: YUNC (The Band)

Thank you to all the performers for a great evening of entertainment!
