Lucie has been a part of the Kids Cast since 201, and this will be the 16-year-old’s last year before moving down to London to study Musical Theatre.

She said: “I’ve seen Movies to Musicals grow so much since I first auditioned in 2016, every year this show has gotten bigger and better and watching these changes has been amazing.

"Being able to say that I’ve performed with so many West End stars is such a privilege. I've also made so many friends from performing in the kids cast and made such amazing memories with them

“This year will be my final year with M2M before I go to London for drama school and I know that with all the experiences I've gained that I am more prepared and excited to continue musical theatre.

"I’m so upset to be leaving, as M2M has been such a big part of my life, but I can't wait to see it grow even further and look forward to watching the shows in the future.”

The Kids Cast and Musical Theatre Cast attended a residential course at Ardentinny Outdoor Centre in Dunoon last month, where they had intense rehearsals ahead of the big shows.
