Loserville – Tickets on sale! Excitement is building for this year’s joint senior musical with St Helen’s. LOSERVILLE , the bold and brilliant rock musical comes to the Amey Theatre for three nights from 6-8 February. Created by James Bourne of the band Busted and Elliot Davis, it is a colourful and catchy ride through the life of the underdog. The cast was very lucky to have a masterclass with actor Aaron Sidwell, who played lead character Michael Dork in the original production. Aaron gave our actors some amazing insight into his time in the show, and led them in a singing and acting masterclass that was exciting and inspirational.
