Razzle Dazzle 'Em 2009
Firstly, please allow us to add our voices to the many who have already said "thank you" and "congratulations" for such a brilliant "Razzle Dazzle 'Em 2009." We attended the whole show on the Thursday and again on the Saturday, and enjoyed every minute of it on both occasions. It was truly spell-binding; all of the performances were magnificent and the incredibly high standard of the older boys and girls was breathtaking - it really did bring tears to the eyes! I hope it was all worth it for the huge efforts you make week-in week-out as well as the extraordinary work that (I can only imagine) is required in the lead up to the show. And in addition to that, thank you for running something which has proved to be so engaging and enjoyable for Lucas I hope his current levels of enthusiasm and joy last through his childhood and beyond!

Sorry for delay in sending my congratulations but I have been very busy at work. I would just like to say that I didn`t realise that it was going to be so professional and spectacular! I can now appreciate all the hard work and effort that goes into it and can understand why you are so proud of all your children. Well done to everybody involved. It was a pleasure to be part of it and my family were all over the moon with the production.

Just to say how much we all enjoyed the show. A couple of members of staff from school watched too and have commented on how professional it was and that it just gets better every year. I also heard lots of people saying how great the costumes looked.
Hope you’re enjoying a well earned rest. See you next week.

Just had to let you know how much I enjoyed being a small part of Razzle Dazzle. The show itself was superb, Frank and I watched on Saturday, the opening number just took your breath away and we knew we were in for a treat from the moment the curtain went up. More important to me were the children I was invited to chaperone. They were a delight, beautiful to look at and beautiful in nature. They reminded me of all the good things about teaching and none of the bad! I would like you to let them and their parents if at all possible, know how much I enjoyed being with them and what a credit they were to you all. When I was asked to chaperone I was quite reluctant but if I were asked again I would not hesitate as long as I can stipulate no stairs and have a class just like class 6! I have now seen three Razzle Dazzles and can't wait for the next! Congratulations to you all.

Razzle Dazzle Em 2009 has been absolutely amazing, a truly fantastic show. Every child has worked so hard and the biggest respect to you stardom staff, you all deserve a medal! Tiegan has thoroughly enjoyed herself. She's still singing and dancing.

I write to congratulate all the girls in Class 11. I had the pleasure of helping out in their dressing room, on three evenings, during the second act when they had several quick changes. They were so organised and helpful to each other. However, the main reason for this note is to say how impressed I was by their politeness. It didn't matter how small the help given they always said a spontaneous 'thank you' and meant it! Given the bad press that teenagers today get I think it's important for them to be given praise where praise is due. Also can I take this opportunity to congratulate to you and your team on another fantastic show. Each time the performances seem to get stronger and more professional. I, and all my guests thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Just a quick note to say what a fabulous show ‘Razzle DazzleEm 2009’ was, I was amazed by the talent of all the people involved and it was enjoyed by all my family.
Brianna only joined Stardom late last year and she has thoroughly enjoyed being part of the show and loved performing. She seems to have settled in well and loves coming to class on Saturdays. Many thanks
Deborah Howarth-Smith
Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed the show on Saturday night. The performances were fabulous and every child was a credit to you and your team. I think your interpretation of the songs was brilliant. I also admire the fact that it is all about the children and you don't make an appearance yourself. This is not always the case in other theatre schools where you get the feeling it is all about the principal and how hard she works.
Once again thank you for a wonderful show and all your hard work.
Penny Wadsworth
Congratulations on the fantastic show. It was worth coming from Bridlington to see. That spectacular opening is something I will remember for a long time. So professional. Congratulations to all the performers & all who helped to make it what it was - Spectacular!
Sheila Middlemiss
Just wanted to say that the show was absolutely fantastic, Brought me to tears. You, your team and the kids were amazing. Grace thoroughly enjoyed herself and has been on a high ever since. She is tired but is fired up to work even harder to get better for the next time!

We have just managed to calm Lucy down and get her to bed after watching another successful show! Lucy has loved being part of the Stardom team and we have seen her develop her confidence so much since she has started coming. We were very proud to see her on stage and could clearly see how much she was loving the performance!
We have brought various friends and family to watch the show on Thursday and Saturday and all were very impressed. We thought the costumes and sets were amazing. But most of all thought the students who took part were fantastic, a real credit to you. Thank you so much for a lovely end to our half term holiday. We look forward to seeing many more Stardom performances.

Stardom Theatre School is very professionally and proficiently run.
The teachers are talented, enthusiastic, friendly and approachable for the kids and parents alike.
The other students make newcomers incredibly welcome!
My sons have been at Stardom for just a year now and in that time we have seen them become much more confident and the improvement in their dancing, acting & singing skills is amazing.
They went in agreeing to “try it…” they are now both attending all of the classes and enjoying them immensely.
I believe that the classes enhance their performance and presentation abilities, build confidence and self-esteem and will give them an advantage throughout their lives.
This year has brought a number of successes and incredible experiences on both stage and screen for both boys. Charlie played “Jeremy” in Chitty and has continued with a TV ad and a photo shoot. Jake has just finished shooting on a short film “5 miles out” playing the part of Thomas.
They have taken it all in their stride and just go back for more!
Later in the year they are looking forward to summer school and then the end of year performances that Stardom stage. The shows are spectacular!!!.
So a big thank you to all the staff and particularly Liz who have given the children such unique opportunities in the last year.

My daughter has been a pupil at Stardom since September 2002 and is as enthusiastic today as she was then!
She loves attending the dance, drama and singing classes and has gained so much confidence and self-esteem. All the "Stardom" staff make lessons fun, exciting and challenging and certainly achieve remarkable results with the children whatever their ability.
The quality of the productions is outstanding with excellent choreography, fantastic live music and brilliant stage management.
Liz Davies and her team encourage and believe in every child who attends Stardom which results in the children having the confidence to believe in themselves.
As a parent you will be very proud!

I've been to other theatre schools over the years but Stardom is by far the best. Everybody is lovely and the dance, drama and singing classes are great fun.
Eliza Carroll (student)
Stardom is very well run, with a friendly atmosphere, by a team of dedicated professionals, where hard work, enthusiasm and high standards produce amazing results. The development of the students' confidence and social skills is equally impressive. The productions are spectacular and not to be missed. My son has attended Stardom for four years and absolutely loves it. Stardom is a great place, a safe place and a fun place to be!
Karen Illingsworth (parent)
Stardom is a place I'll never part from. I can't see the day when I'm not involved in one way or another. Never has it felt so easy to make new friends and although I'm getting older, I never want to leave!
Naomi Hurtault (student)
Stardom was probably the best three years of my life. I am leaving to start full time musical theatre training to pursue a career on the stage. I'll miss all the teachers, the classes, my friends and the shows. Stardom is the best!!
