The only golden ticket you will need next year is to the Combined Schools Musical performance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The creative team for the highly-anticipated stage show was recently revealed by Gladstone Regional Council.
Performances will take place at Gladstone Entertainment Convention Centre from Monday 7 March until Sunday 19 March 2022.
Gladstone region Mayor Matt Burnett said the 2022 Combined Schools Musical creative team would be led by director Josh Kearney, who previously directed Shrek the Musical in 2018.
“In addition to Shrek the Musical, Josh was involved in the 2021 production of Legally Blonde the Musical as assistant stage manager and was stage manager for Anything Goes in 2019,” Cr Burnett said.
“To complement the appointment of Josh, Kate Shannon will be the musical director with Jeannine Butler on-board as stage manager, as well as vocal coach Robyn Addison, choreographers Bobbie McIntyre and Jamie-lee Allen, and assistant director Emily Newman.”
Cr Burnett said about 160 students from 18 schools attended auditions held last month with 69 children cast.
“We have students and teachers involved in the production from schools as far north as Mount Larcom State School to as far south as Miriam Vale State School and everywhere in between,” he said.
“There’s always a great deal of enthusiasm from students who participate in Combined Schools musicals and this tends to rub off on the creative team as well.”
Schools involved at the 2022 Combined Schools Musical will include:
Boyne Island State School, Calliope State High School, Calliope State School, Chanel College, Clinton State School, Gladstone Central School, Gladstone State High School, Gladstone South State School, Gladstone West State School, Kin Kora, Miriam Vale State School, Mount Larcom State School, St Francis Catholic Primary School, St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School, Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School, Tannum Sands State High School, Tannum Sands State School, Toolooa State High School and Trinity College.
