A SELL-out show at the Grace Academy - which attracted the backing of a number of West End stars - has been hailed as a big success.
There was standing room only at the Chelmsley Wood school, where the professionals were joined on stage by a 200-strong community choir.
The Magic of the Musicals concert saw the group belt out numbers from some of the best-known stage shows from the history of theatre.
Year 10 student Bethany Ball, among the pupils who took part in the performance, said: "It’s been a lot of hard work and commitment and it’s turned into an amazing show."
Grace Academy's Principal Darren Gelder said: "This has been a sell-out evening of entertainment, music, and a fantastic opportunity for the young people at the Academy to work with primary school children and professionals.
"It has been incredibly well supported by the community with standing room only and it is an expression of our continuing commitment to the Academy’s arts programme."
