On Saturday 6th July, the Central Pier Show Bar in Blackpool was transformed into a dazzling hub of creativity and celebration as NW1 Theatre School Blackpool hosted its spectacular End of Year Cabaret and Awards Show. The much-anticipated first of an annual event brought together students, families, and friends for an unforgettable afternoon of performance, pride, and recognition.
A Showcase of Talent and Teamwork
The afternoon was a true celebration of the performing arts, with the entire school taking to the stage to showcase their skills in acting, singing, and dancing. Highlights of the night included full ensemble numbers such as ‘We Belong’ from Priscilla Queen of the Desert, high-energy group performances from The Greatest Showman, and recent West End newcomer Why Am I So Single?.
Soloists also stepped into the spotlight, delivering moving renditions of musical theatre classics. ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ from The Wizard of Oz brought a hush over the crowd, while ‘Good Morning Baltimore’ from Hairspray had the audience tapping their feet with joy.
The afternoon wasn’t just about performance, it was about celebrating each and every student. All performers received a Certificate of Achievement and a Class of 2024-25 patch to proudly add to their NW1 hoodie, honouring their hard work and dedication throughout the year.
