Did you know our gorgeous former pupil Jess Michelmore is currently in Singapore playing the lead role of Sophie in the International tour of Mamma Mia The Musical?

From touring Britain and Europe sheโs now on the last leg of her tour in Singapore but will be coming back to see us all and teach a very exciting workshop for us in January.
