Students at Henry Beaufort School brought Matilda Jnr The Musical to the stage at Theatre Royal Winchester.
Stellar performances throughout saw the cast given standing ovations as performances from Matilda and Miss Trunchball were worthy of a professional stage.
Suitably dim Mr and Mrs Wormwood, sweet-singing Miss Honey and cake-guzzling Bruce were perfectly cast, with the supporting ensemble a joy to watch. Their song and dance routines were slick and tight - even featuring children on scooters whizzing across the stage. And all of these actors are 16 or under.
Behind the scenes, it's clear there have been lots of dedicated staff members making this all happen - from music teachers to dance teachers and from tech directors to set designers.
Director Kim Miles and her team should be applauded for getting star quality out of so many students.
