'Fame' and 'Hairspray' meets 'High School Musical'

 

– only this time it's the kids in a 'Stage School' on the Lower East Side we follow

 

as they struggle towards a performance only helped by a grumpy old Shakespeare actor.

 

 

 

Faith in yourself really can move mountains.

 

Loved by children and adults alike for the great songs, jokes and its message

 

of unlimited optimism, Kids! remain an audience favorite.

 

As in all So Quiet's productions there is a part for everyone!
