And here are the memories from the West Bridgford Cast of Moana!

Can you believe it's already been just over a month since we took to the stage with Moana Jr.? 🌺🌊

The weeks have flown by, but the memories are still as special as ever. Looking back through the production photos has reminded us of the laughter, friendships, hard work, and unforgettable performances that made the show so magical.

We thought we'd share a few of our favourite moments with you over the coming days and hope they bring back some wonderful memories too. We've started with photo's from the Ravenshead Cast of Moana

As much as we'll always have a soft spot for Moana Jr., we're excited to begin our next chapter. In September, rehearsals start for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, and we can't wait to welcome everyone back for another fantastic adventure.

Here's to celebrating the memories we've made—and making plenty more together! 💙🎭

🌺 Wishing all of our cast, families, and supporters a wonderful summer! ☀️

As we wrap up our incredible journey with Moana Jr., we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped make it so special. We've had a fantastic week of performances, created memories that will last a lifetime, and couldn't be prouder of every single performer who took to the stage.

A very special thank you also goes to our amazing backstage team. From costumes and props to lighting, sound, stage management, and everything in between, your hard work, dedication, and countless hours behind the scenes make these productions possible. You truly are the magic behind the magic!
