Ellie-Mae Morris, performing as Cydni Gibson, showcased her fantastic characterisation as she was followed around the stage by the other cheerleaders, running the school and breaking the boys’ hearts.

Bethany Parsons and Declan Snook stole the audiences’ hearts with their rendition of Video killed the Radio Star dressed head to toe in the American flag.

The show closed with a rendition of Electric Dreams which saw all cast members on stage dancing under the stage lights to the eruption of applause from the audience.
