STUDENTS at Bromsgrove Stagecoach School spent the day working alongside a legendary West End performer.

Nathaniel Morrison, a former Stagecoach student, now works as an actor, singer, songwriter, dancer and artistic director of the West End Gospel Choir, having performed in sister Act, Hairspray and Jersey Boys.

During a one-hour intensive workshop, Nathaniel shared his passion for the creative arts with Bromsgrove students, focusing on the importance of concentration, high energy levels and demonstrating confidence.

He also taught a high-impact dance routine from the Hairspray musical, giving students just 15 minutes to learn the moves.

Nathaniel said: "Stagecoach was the foundation of my career and it was very inspiring and enlightening to see the tremendous commitment every student gave to the session.”

Stagecoach's first summer workshop 'Musical Madness' will be held at St John's Middle School from July 31 to August 4 at 10am and 4pm daily.

Enrolment is open to all children, aged from four to eighteen years of age. No performance experience is necessary.
