The smash-hit, multi-award winning musical has arrived in London to sensational reviews
Based on the much-loved Oscar-winning film, Once is an extraordinary, original and irresistibly joyous celebration of love, friendship and music.

When an Irish busker and a Czech girl meet through a shared love of music, their song writing sparks a deep connection and a tender, longing romance that neither of them could have expected. Winner of 8 Tony^® Awards in 2012, including Best New Musical, and a 2013 Grammy^® Award, this unique stage adaptation takes you right to the heart of the action in a rapturous production.

An exhilarating love story that refuses to play by the rules, performed by an extraordinary cast of actor-musicians, Once dazzles with invention, wit and unforgettable music.

Featuring all of the magical songs from the original film, including the Oscar-winning “Falling Slowly”, this achingly beautiful, thrillingly inspirational show strikes an unforgettable chord and truly dares to be different.

P.A.C.S 27th November - Welcome to P.A.C.S Blog!

Hi everyone and welcome to P.A.C.S (Performing Arts Club). Hopefully we (Abbie, Fran, Tegan and Verity) will be uploading a post at least once a week to keep you informed about the exciting things that are going on in the drama department as well as in the worth as theatre!

27th November...What did we get up to?

• Abbie (Sixth form honorary prefect!) ran a name game so the new P.A.C.S members got to learn each others names. It got very confusing but everyone made friends and had a good laugh!
• A classic game of 'Honey I love you'. The P.A.C.S. members found it a challenge to keep a straight face!
• The P.A.C.S. students were then given the challenge to create an ending to a story given to them. The students came up with fantastic plot twists. What an imaginative bunch of kids! 

P.A.C.S Students mentioned that they would like to see some websites about drama and theatre around Cowbridge and Cardiff:

Please see some websites that have information about upcoming productions!

If any of you don't know what Wicked is; Wicked tells the incredible untold story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two girls who first meet as sorcery students at Shiz University: the blonde and very popularGlinda and a misunderstood green girl named Elphaba. 

Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda's unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power while Elphaba's determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences for her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
