Shockout Presents : Spotlight (An Original Musical)

Step into a world where ambition ignites, secrets simmer, and the pursuit of greatness pushes the limits of courage and self discovery.

Spotlight is a captivating original show that pulls back the curtain on a group of aspiring performers striving for their moment in the spotlight. Beneath the dazzling facade of their dreams lies a web of hidden desires, unspoken truths, and the relentless pressure to succeed.

As passions spark and tensions rise, relationships are tested to their limits, identities are questioned, and the search for belonging takes centre stage. With sharp dialogue, emotionally charged encounters, and moments of unexpected intimacy, the story explores the cost of ambition, the courage of self-discovery, and the power of human connection.

This isn’t just a performance, it’s a raw, unflinching look at what it takes to chase a dream while holding onto yourself.

Produced and presented by Shockout Arts, this electrifying production is helmed by Shockout Creative Directors Yaz Harcourt, Ellis Brownhill and Musical Theatre Co-Ordinator Louise Pettitt together with Rolling Stone-featured Director Kristopher Russell. Music arrangement and direction by Elizabeth Martland and choreography by the talented Shockout faculty members. This production proudly features the extraordinary talents of the students of Shockout.

Prepare to be moved, challenged, and inspired by Spotlight, a showcase of ambition, resilience, and the unyielding pursuit of artistry.
