Hakuna Matata

In late November girls at Pipers Corner brought the plains to Africa to Great Kingshill when they put on an outstanding performance of the musical “The Lion King”.   From the Pride Lands to the jungle the audiences at each of the four performances were enthralled by the adventures of Simba, heir to Mufasa, King of the Pride Lands.

Ellie G (Year 11) was fantastic in the lead as Simba alongside Imogen B (Year 11) as Rafiki, Abbie V (Upper Sixth) as Mufasa and Hannah W (Upper Sixth) as Scar.  From the principle cast to the ensembles all girls shone in the spotlight and didn’t disappoint the sell-out audiences.  The talented backstage crew also played their part providing wonderful make-up for each show as well as excellent stage management and organisation.  The incredible costumes and props, created by the DT and Art Departments and the Art and Scenery club, really added to the atmosphere and helped to make the show an amazing experience to be part of.

Headmistress, Mrs Ness-Gifford, said “I was very excited about this performance and was not disappointed.  It was remarkable to see so much talent on show, not just acting and singing, but make-up design, costumes and pronunciation of African words! All girls and staff involved excelled in their discipline and it was one of the best productions Pipers has ever delivered.”
