Their trip included Flagons and Foxtrots and Scared Scriptless at the Court Theatre, the spectacular Matilda, produced by Showbiz Christchurch and presented at the stunning Isaac Theatre Royal and Chicago, performed by second year NASDA (National Academy of Singing and Dramatic Arts) students at the musical theatre training school. We were also fortunate enough to be given guided tours of both The Court Theatre and NASDA.

It was a lovely chance for Mr Meissel to reconnect with a former star pupil Eli Davis. Please enjoy a video of Mr Meissel and Eli singing at NASDA, with Mrs Barnes playing the piano.
