Star Struck set for all-singing, all-dancing 'Remix' as it goes bigger and better in 2025
More than 4000 students from 150 state high schools will make the 33rd Star Struck Remixed creative arts extravaganza bigger than ever, organisers say.
The annual showcase of student creative arts talent involving thousands of students from across the Hunter and Central Coast, is in its final preparations as performers look to the final combined choir rehearsal of about 400 students on Friday, June 6.
Dress rehearsals will be held next week, organisers say, ahead of opening night on Friday, June 13.
"This year's theme, Remixed, invites audiences on a dynamic journey through a reimagining of music, movement and meaning, highlighting a fresh take on past and present influences in the performing arts," organisers said in a statement. "From high-energy dance and powerful vocals to moving drama pieces and a full live orchestra, Remixed promises a sensory celebration like no other."
The two-night performance next Friday and Saturday, which will have four renditions of the show in a matinee and evening roster apiece, will stage 400 Indigenous dancers across two casts, organisers said, alongside the mass choir performance.
Celebrated conductor and composer George Ellis will return to lead the orchestra. Ellis, who is known for his work across symphonic, choral, opera, musical theatre, jazz and pop genres, has appeared in major venues from Paris to New York and every Australian capital city.
Organisers say the show, which will be emceed by NewFM breakfast host Joel Gosper, is almost sold out, with limited seats remaining for the Friday matinee and evening performances, as well as Saturday afternoon.
