TERM FOUR

Classes
Musical Theatre Dance

Throughout the year our Musical Theatre Dance Class has worked on a number of songs and exercises as they have developed their dance prowess. During Term Four the class will focus on 'Come Alive' to get it ready to present at our Musical Theatre End of Year Showcase performances towards the end of this term, on Saturday 22 November 2025 (scroll down for more information about our 2025 Musical Theatre Showcase). 
 

SONG 1: Oogie Boogie's Song 
From The Nightmare Before Christmas
Oogie Boogie's Song is the villain song of The Nightmare Before Christmas sung by Oogie Boogie and his prisoner, Santa Claus. Our focus for this quirky number has been on bringing character and story into our dancing. 

SONG 2: Come Alive
From The Greatest Showman
With music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul

'Come Alive' comes from The Greatest Showman. In the early 1800's Barnam opened the 'American Museum' in downtown Manhattan, which featured various wax figures. Ticket sales were slow, so the decision is made to showcasing something "alive". Our song appears in the movie when Barnum adds curiosity performers to his offering, such as bearded lady Lettie Lutz and little person Charles Stratton.
At the End of Year Showcase performance our MT Dance class will be joined on stage by Stage Door's Zodiacs and Constellations Musical Theatre Classes, as we bring this fantastic song to life. 


SHOWCASE FINALE SONG: Happy 
Written and performed by Pharrell Williams

Our 2025 Musical Theatre Showcase Finale song is Happy by Pharrell Williams.
For this number our MT Dance class students will join together with all of Stage Door's musical theatre classes (nine in total) to perform together at the very end of our 2025 Musical Theatre Showcase in November (see the bottom of this page for more information about the showcase).
