    Published 23/05/25

    Today, KS2 have been visited by Ennio's mum, Mrs Tomeo. Mrs Tomeo works in theatre and film make-up and worked in the stage production and film production of 'Wicked the Musical'. She brought in some of the masks used in the show and the make-up used to paint Elpheba. She spoke to the children about her role and the children had many questions for her! We are so fortunate to have had this experience ahead of our trip to see Wicked after half-term. Thank you so much, Mrs Tomeo!
