Four children share the roles of Jeremy and Jemima and on opening night we enjoyed the performances of Jayden McGinlay and Emma Cobb.
The way these two work together on stage is almost as synchronous as the pair of gorgeous creatures in the movie, who I always imagined must behave in exactly the same manner in real life, a though which left me in awe of all smiling, singing siblings dressed in rags.
This production boasts 32 more super talented children, and their strong vocals and well-prepared characters come across superbly, particularly in one of the final scenes, beneath the castle where the Lost Children are kept hidden from sight. Props to their coaches and parents – this is our next generation of musical theatre stars and I’m so excited for them.
