Rising Stars’ next production will be…

Rising Stars are delighted to announce that their next production will be…

The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical.

What if you found out you’re the child of a Greek god?

Percy Jackson was just a regular kid – until he discovered he’s a demigod!

Now he’s on an epic quest to find Zeus’s stolen lightning bolt, clear his name, and stop a war between the gods. Along with his friends Annabeth and Grover, Percy battles monsters, dodges traps, and finds the hero inside himself.

Adventure. Friendship. Rock music. And lots of monsters.

Back in Time competition – answers

To celebrate 15 amazing years of Rising Stars, we hid an eclectic collection of mysterious costumes and props throughout ‘Back in Time’ and ran a competition to see which of our Rising Stars supporters and ex-members could spot the most.

How did you get on? Did you spot them all – and remember which shows they originally appeared in?

We awarded one point for each item you spotted and another for naming the correct show. The maximum score was 100 points.

View all the answers here

The winner scored 49/100 and will be contacted by email.

Thank you to everyone who took part. We hoped you enjoyed the nostalgic trip down memory lane as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Remembering Jodie Harris 1994 – 2023

Because of their friendship, musical talent and bravery at stepping with us into the unknown, the 19 founder members of Rising Stars will always have a very special place in our hearts. The sad news that Jodie Harris has lost her 3-year battle with cancer has left us feeling absolutely devastated.

Jodie always wanted to make singing her career and she had more than enough talent to match her ambitions. As well as taking lead roles in first three shows, she had the rare ability to light up the stage whenever she appeared.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her Mum, Grandma, family and many friends.

Rest in Peace Jodie. You were and always will be a shining star x
