THE hit Broadway musical Hairspray will be performed by more than 60 talented youngsters this month.

Ulverston Victoria High School will be performing the musical at The Coronation Hall on Friday March 22 and Saturday March 23.

Head of drama and show director Mike Vogler said the show promises to deliver "a great evening’s entertainment, with great music and a comical script".

He said: "Over 60 students are on stage in the all-singing all-dancing production, accompanied by the traditional UVHS all-student pit band – it makes all of us proud to see so much talent in a school, and all the performers are really looking forward to showing the results of all their hard work in rehearsals over the last couple of months.”

Tickets are available from the box office priced at £8.50 and £4 or via the website www.corohall.co.uk with both cabaret-style and theatre-style seating options available.
