2017 The Jungle Book Kids
As the lights dimmed for the last time on the 'Kristin Jungle' it saw the end of the 2017 Performing Arts production timetable and an uplifting, colourful finish to the year.

Families cheered with pride following every scene, many clapping (and singing) along and springing to their feet at the end of each show. Every one of the 454 Kristin Junior School students,...

2015 Miss Saigon
Written by the same creative team as Les Misérables, which was performed at Kristin last year, Miss Saigon is currently one of the biggest theatrical attractions in London’s West End. The powerful story, breathtaking score and highly theatrical moments – including the landing of a helicopter on stage – culminated in Miss Saigon’s opening night being one of the most anticipated events of the term.

With them, guided by a talented and highly professional production team, superb parent support and huge audiences for every show, we were able to mark another milestone in our proud tradition of Kristin productions.

2016 The Lion King JR
The Lion King Junior transported the audience to the African savannah and the joy radiating from everyone who came to watch was infectious and the feedback highly complimentary.

Their wide-eyed wonder and spontaneous delight in every small aspect of the production journey, provided an energy that was unique and uplifting. The teams of parents working behind the scenes, which included volunteers from all three schools, was the largest number so far for a production. Their skill and generosity...
