TY Musical - Aladdin

‘Aladdin’

This year’s TY musical is the classic tale of ‘Aladdin’.  There is now a tradition at SCS of producing an exceptionally entertaining musical each year and this year’s contribution is shaping up to be every bit as spectacular as those shows that have gone before.

The magical, Middle-Eastern setting has given our Art Department an opportunity to go all out in creating colourful and exotic backdrops and costumes. 

There are also many familiar, toe-tapping songs and this year’s talented bunch of TY actors bring out all the comedy and energy of the classic tale whilst adding their own fresh take on it as well.

This is a ‘Must-see’ show for all the family and will be taking place on the 5th,6th & 7th of March at 7:30PM. Try to catch it if you can.  The matinee for primary schools is on Wednesday the 4th of March at 11:00 AM.

The cost of tickets is as follows:

Thursday Two tickets for €15

Friday, Saturday Tickets €10, Family ticket €30

 It’s a great antidote to all the doom and gloom and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
