Kinvara pupils get Meowsical

Seamount College will stage Meowsical, a musical revue, in the Kinvara Community Centre at 8pm on Thursday and Friday, March 4 and 5. The production has been adapted and directed by Galway-born Anna de Marigny, née Crowe, and will be staged by a cast of Seamount school pupils.
The transition year pupils have been key in the performing, planning and marketing of the production and the second-year pupils will also take part.
Kinvara Community Centre will be transformed into a giant barn, the site of a Feis Ceoil for cats. The Simon Cowell of the feline world will link songs from productions as diverse as Cats and The Aristocats, as well as jazzier numbers such as Stray Cat Strut.
“The students have played a vital role in the workshopping of the production,” said Ms de Marigny. “The process is as important as the final product and the standard is very high indeed. The premise, a kind of feline X Factor, is fun and the girls have loved being involved in all aspects of the musical,” she continued. “The cats, in groups of Rastacats, Alley Cats and Rock Cats will sing, dance and interact with the audience in a vibrant, amusing and dynamic production, which promises to be original and entertaining,” added Ms de Marigny.
Meowsical offers the pupils the opportunity to showcase their talents and as well as being a platform for local talent, Meowsical promises to be great evening’s entertainment and offers an original slant on much-loved hits. Tickets will be available at the door on both evenings.
