The students from Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts in Eastleigh dazzled their family and friends with a performance of the academy’s show The Lazy Ace.

As part of the academy’s curriculum, the students have the opportunity to perform at Her Majesty’s Theatre London, and get to experience the thrill and buzz of performing on a West End Stage

The Lazy Ace is a musical comedy set on Las Vegas Strip in the 1950s; Detective Chip Buddy is in search of a card shark known as The Lazy Ace amongst the hustle and bustle of the casino scene. PQA Eastleigh AM had the freedom to be as imaginative and creative with their part of the show as they like, from the casting, staging and choreography.

The Principal from PQA Eastleigh AM Jenna Hones said “The students should be so proud of all their hard work leading up to the show. Their professionalism, their confidence on stage and how their lines were delivered to perfection resembles the highest West End Stage performer.

“Above all the students had fun and absolutely loved performing to a sell-out crowd.”
