These school holidays, Little Seed Theatre Company invites you into a world of knights on quests, magical ladies of the lake and an all singing, all dancing cast of local talent.
As Little Seed Theatre Company gears up to stage their seventh annual full length musical, we caught up with director Johanna Wallace about what makes this yearly event special.
Johanna said, “What I love about our full length musical is the energy and joy in the rehearsal room that builds and builds until the cast explode onstage during the run of the show.“
“People frequently comment on the force of this joy and audiences can feel it in their seats. It’s contagious. The collaboration as high school students from across the Sunshine Coast unite with their passion for Musical Theatre means that something electric is created each year. Our musicals also bring together our team from the vocal, dance and theatre departments and that creative collaboration is exciting.“
With a cast of teenagers from seven local High Schools, this year’s Spamalot sees the return of Matilda Malone who plays The Lady of The Lake, a magical sprite who sends King Arthur on a quest to find the Holy Grail. Matilda is fresh from her run as Annie in Noosa District High School’s recent production of Annie which she played to great acclaim.
Last year Matilda performed the role of Ms Sherman the principal of the New York Performing Arts High School in Little Seed’s production of FAME! and when she sang the unforgettable number, “These are my children,“ she bought the audience to tears.
This year, audiences can expect to shed tears of laughter as Spamalot is a total riot with many laugh out loud moments. For the past seven years Little Seed has been bringing to life high quality full length musicals with the very best of Noosa’s young talent.
A number of former students have gone on to study Music or Musical Theatre at the Brisbane Conservatorium of Music. This is a company to keep your eyes on and a show not to be missed.
Find your grail with us at The J in Noosa or The Events Centre in Caloundra as Little Seed presents the joy and lunacy of Spamalot. Tickets via little-seed.com.au
