The Rosny College musical is over for another year. Over 60 staff and students worked on The CHICAGO for just over 3 months to create a spectacular production – for the first time held at Mount Nelson Theatre this year.

Performing arts students were involved in all areas of the production from performing, lighting, sound and technical production, to the band and costuming.

The Musical theatre course, which provides students with a UTAS course as well as 15 TCE points, threw many challenges at staff at students this year. With the Rosny College Auditorium closed for major works, the team had to “think outside the College” to ensure this learning experience could still happen. Rehearsing in the student common room right up until the week of the show, students then moved to Mount Nelson Theatre (thanks to Hobart College’s generosity), with 2 days of rehearsals on the stage before opening night.

Chicago was well received by the public with over 2500 audience members over the short show season. Congratulations must go to the students who worked tirelessly to bring the show to life. Thanks also to the college community, including staff, parents and sponsors who have supported the production team and always make our Musicals such an amazing industry-quality experience for all involved.
