The Show Must Go On 🎭
A teaser from the opening of this years Upper School Show - our tribute to all of the West End musicals that had to close this year. #academykids

[Kaye Darling 💙 @Wraggywraggster]

Cried at the start-pretty much to the end. The show started with Boris saying ‘all theatres must close!’-followed by an academy of kids opening the theatre up with musical theatre tributes with fantastic talent. @AcademyWatford brilliant and emotional. You’re back.👏🏻❤️
