The show has come straight from the West End and features a phenomenal cast including Tommy Steele so it is a real honour for our kids to be performing alongside so many professional actors and actresses. Next year is actually Drama Queens' 10th anniversary so it is a lovely way to finish off 2013 for the children and kick start the New Year in style."
