DRAMA students at an east Cleveland college are to stage a musical later this month.

The performing arts department at Redcar and Cleveland College will stage the musical Cabaret.

The show follows the lives of regulars of the KitKat Club, in Berlin, in the years before the Nazis seized power.

Starring 18-year-old Becky Wilson as singer Sally Bowles, Cabaret will be staged by a group of 23 students, aged between 16 and 25.

Miss Wilson said: "I am looking forward to the show with great anticipation. One day I would like to teach performance."

As well as the main performances, a separate show on Thursday, May 22 will feature the understudies so that everyone involved has a chance to appear.

Director Craig Hannaway said: "Everyone has put in a tremendous amount of effort. We are confident we will put on a professional performance that will make Redcar and Cleveland College proud."

The production will be held in the college's main hall, in Redcar, from Wednesday to Friday, May 21 to May 23, at 7pm.

Tickets cost £4, and £3 concessions. They can be obtained from the college library.
