Stardust and Anastasia

We are about to embark on our final day in NYC. Today we are going to the top of the rock and crossing the Hudson to see the Statue of Liberty.

Yesterday all had an amazing day looking around the TV studios. We were all surprised with how small the sets were, especially the size of the area where The Roots play. Pupils even had the opportunity to make their own short show which is viewable on Vimeo, all who took part have been emailed a link. Sadly we weren't allowed to take photos whilst on the tour.

Last night we had an 'experience' at Ellen's Stardust Diner with singing waiting staff who were very enthusiastic with the microphone. Pupils really got into the spirit of things and enjoyed clapping along and cheering.

We then saw Anastasia which was extremely enjoyable with some full musical scoring and amazing use of giant screens to give depth to the set.
