FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Baden, Ontario – A five, six, seven, eight! Waterloo-Oxford District Secondary School’s production of Emma! A Pop Musical hits the stage this April and is a heartwarming story
for the whole family to enjoy!
Based on Jane Austen’s classic novel, Emma! A Pop Musical is a living, dancing and soul-warming jukebox musical that features hit songs of legendary girl groups and iconic female singers, from The Supremes and Whitney Houston to Shania Twain and Katy Perry.
The story of Emma! A Pop Musical focuses on Emma, a senior at Highbury Prep. This matchmaking master strives to find love for her classmates (as well as the private school’s teachers!). Her next pet project is to find the perfect boyfriend for the young and bashful Harriet by the end of the school year. However, Emma’s pursuit often goes sideways in hilariously unexpected ways, not to mention her relentless efforts just might be getting in the way of finding her own happiness…
This charming, full-length musical comedy is a delightful evening out for the whole family. With dynamic performances from W-O’s talented students, Emma! A Pop Musical addresses how misguided romantic relationships can be when both personal vanity and stereotypes complicate matters.
Come and immerse yourself in the foot tapping, heart-warming, giggle-inducing world of Emma! A Pop Musical.
All proceeds from the show will be put forward to specifically support the arts at Waterloo-Oxford D.S.S.
