‘Hello and we are .... POWERPLAY.
'We love to sing, we love to dance and when we all come together its an amzing buzz! ’
Powerplay is an all singing, all dancing musical theatre company who live and love to perform and describe themselves as a pack of starburst. I set up Powerplay in 2007 for a small group of kids who just wanted to perform musical theatre. The group has been on an incredible jou
rney over the last few years, starting with their entries into the Young Musical Theatre Singers of the Year Awards, performing ’You can’t stop the beat’ from Hairspray in the final of 2008, and becoming champions in 2009 performing ‘Light at the end of the tunnel, from Starlight Express, finishing with an standing ovation from the whole audience including the judges! Powerplay then went on to perform a huge charity concert for Air Ambulance Wales in May 2009, in a show stopping spectacle of songs from the Musicals. Powerplay made its television debut in the summer of 2010 when they successfully were chosen at auditions to compete in Channel 5’s Don’t Stop Believing. This was an amazing opportunity for all of those who were able to take part. Not only did they get to have the experience of what it is like backstage of a TV show, the cameras, the celebrities, the costumes, the rehearsals, they had the chance to perform in front of a live TV audience and showed the nation what they could do. Singing Meatloaf’s ‘Bat out of Hell,’ they wowed the judges receiving some fantastic comments
Powerplay has been expanding over the years with more and more people wanting to be part of the exciting opportunities that the group has to offer. We are a Musical Theatre Company.... fun filled action packed classes in singing, dance & drama for children in Year 1 to adults with the chance to perform in charity shows & events throughout the year and annual large scale musicals at Rhyl Pavilion with lots of fun laughs and giggles along the way. Powerplay was my chance to give others the opportunity to perform something that they love, and teaching them what I know as a professional performer, vocal coach, drama teacher and choreographer. It's so wonderful to watch my students grow and be part of my powerplay family! One of my favourite quotes is:
‘those who say sunshine brings happiness have never danced in the rain.’
My dream is to see my students dance in the rain......
