Classic Disney musicals will be brought to life by young performers from the Bognor Regis area.

Over The Rainbow with 300 Art of Dance and Fitness pupils features a host of family favourites.

Excerpts from The Lion King, Pocahontas and Mulan will join with songs and scenes from older shows such as Pinocchio to present a celebration of music.

The performers are the junior members of the Art of Dance and Fitness. They are aged from four to 11 years old.

Lisa Richards, the entertainment school’s joint principal, said: “For some of the children, it will be their first time on a stage.

“Others have appeared in the Alexandra Theatre before, including the recent panto.

“They are all excited by being in Over the Rainbow. Performing on a stage in a show like this boosts their self-confidence.

“It’s a chance for them to show what they can do on their own in front of members of their family in the audience.

“That’s why it’s so important to have the Regis Centre open – to provide children with the chance to enjoy live entertainment.

“Some of them will really love it and go on to do a lot more. Others will not do much else.  It’s vital they have that chance.”
