Their enthusiasm has been truly inspiring making this musical as a performance to remember.

In the words of Nellie Ahmed, the Founder and Managing Trustee, "Theatres and musicals have been a part and parcel of Marian curriculum, an integral part of our vision 'Learning Beyond the Classroom' as we believe that the overall holistic development is possible only when we instill values which are derived from areas beyond the four walls of a classroom. Our experience from the past endeavours tells us that children become more confident and their communication skill, social skills, emotional intelligence, team spirit and time management skills improve through their participation in live performances. They also find a platform to hone and showcase their creativity which enhances their cultural understanding and memory. They also become more aware about their interest and talent which pave a way for their future pursuits."
