Opera Hong Kong Summer School has offered youngsters the opportunity to perform concerts from a well-known repertoire of musical worth and humour since its inception in 2009. The school aims to foster youngster\u2019s creativity and expressiveness, as well as enhance their observational powers and musical appreciation through three weeks of intensive training by its professional coaches.<\/p>\n
This year the Summer School will present Hairspray Jr. The family-friendly musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance, and memorably tuneful songs, is adapted from the original Broadway version which won 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical. The story not only charms the audience with its wit and energy, but also by its beautiful message of acceptance and pursuit for equality for all.<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t stop the BEAT! So just join it!<\/p>\n
