That’s a wrap on The Wind in the Willows, presented by QYouth, and we at FUSE would like to take a moment to celebrate every member of the incredible cast. Over the past few months, our young performers have thrown themselves into rehearsals with enthusiasm, creativity and determination, growing in confidence, making new friendships and bringing this much-loved story to life on stage. In the words of one parent, “What a brilliant show!! We were absolutely blown away… it was incredible. Thank you so much for all of your efforts… it was a really proud moment”.
“James Watson and Andrew Linham’s production of The Wind in the Willows at Queen’s Theatre is a triumph in modern musical storytelling for a large home-grown cast, composed of the theatre’s own youth drama programme, QYouth.“
Ruth Kettle-Frisby, The Havering Daily
Whether they were stepping into the spotlight for the first time or returning as experienced performers, every cast member should be immensely proud of what they’ve achieved. Thank you to our dedicated team, supportive families and everyone who came along to cheer them on.
Here’s what the young people had to say:
“Amazing. Loved having fun with all my friends and meeting new ones”
“An amazing experience and so lovely meeting new people”
“Extremely fun meeting new people and making new friends in the process.”
“Fever dream – incredible! Heaven!”
“Best time of my life!”
“Met so many new and amazing people. Glad to call them all my friend.”
“My favourite part of this year. I can’t believe it’s over!”
“So exciting, meeting new people and growing close with cast members new and old have made this far more than a worthwhile experience, even more so after being on stage, in one word: AWESOME!”
“So fun I loved making new friends and being on a big stage for the first time”
We can’t wait to welcome our young performers back for more adventures with QYouth in the future!
“An amazing experience and so lovely meeting new people”
