If you are experiencing this either on-line or as our audience I thank you for reading this and sincerely hope that The Phantom phenomenon grips you all as it has us.
This is the biggest budget production the I.S.S. has undertaken recently with a truly international cast of actors, singers and dancers who became spellbound by the story as far back as June 2014 when the production was launched in school.
Inspired by the film version of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Phantom of the Opera, our Phantom was adapted and written by me, Fiona Elliott, Head of Performing Arts at I.S.S.
Seychelles was the start and end point of my story. I wrote the script in August 2014, viewing it very much as a work in progress and as rehearsals started in October 2014 it was the students themselves who drove the production to its final version. Their input has left its imprint and my simple script has now emerged to showcase their creativity. I cherry picked what I felt were the iconic songs from the original Phantom and even added a Beatles favourite of mine because like it or not, that’s my musical heritage.
The whole I.S.S community has supported and encouraged us all in this production and the list of those we have to give thanks to is staggering. The montage of pictures shows faces of those who gave up their time to help and on behalf of the cast I would like to thank them all.
