Spring Musicals in Westfield Public Schools

WESTFIELD – It is that time of year when the Westfield Public Schools community looks forward to Spring musicals and celebrating the considerable talents of the cast, crew, and theater directors at Edison and Roosevelt Intermediate Schools and Westfield High School (WHS).

“Our intermediate and high schools are abuzz with rehearsals as students prepare to take the stage for their spring productions. These vibrant, collaborative performances offer a unique opportunity for our young artists to showcase their singing, dancing, and acting skills,” says K-12 Visual and Performing Arts Supervisor Shawna Longo. “From heartwarming classics to energetic contemporary pieces, there’s something for everyone in this year’s diverse lineup. Get ready to be entertained and inspired by the creativity and dedication of our staff and students!”

The Roosevelt Theatre Department presents The SpongeBob Musical, with performances at Roosevelt on Thursday, March 7 at 4 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday, March 8 and 9 at 7 p.m. When the citizens of Bikini Bottom discover that a volcano will soon erupt and destroy their humble home, SpongeBob and his friends must come together to save the fate of their undersea world. With lives hanging in the balance and all hope lost, a most unexpected hero rises up. See just how the power of optimism really can save the world! Tickets are available at ris.booktix.net.

The Westfield High School Theatre Department is proud to present Heathers the Musical: Teen Edition on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, March 14, 15, and 16. All performances are at 7:30 p.m. at Westfield High School. Tickets may be purchased online only at whstd.booktix.com.Adapted from the 1988 cult classic film “Heathers,” this darkly funny and edgy rock musical follows a brainy “misfit” who struggles to survive teenage life at Westerberg High, where a hellish social hierarchy is ruled by the powerful and ruthless clique, the “Heathers.”

”While it is a ‘dark comedy,’ Heathers addresses myriad issues that our students still struggle with, including bullying, peer pressure, self-acceptance and, for many kids, just trying to figure out who they truly are,” says WHS Theatre Director Daniel Devlin. “It’s a very honest, unashamed look into the mirror and reveals just how rough things can be in a high school. The story resonates with our students, and they are extremely excited to share it with our audiences.”

The cast and crew at Edison Intermediate School will present Frozen, Junior on Thursday, March 21 at 4 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, March 22 and 23 at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at eis.booktix.com. This beloved musical brings Elsa, Anna, and the magical land of Arendelle back to the stage, reminding us all of the powerful bond of sisterhood.
