It is a professionally staged production performed at Melbourne Park to an audience of over 10,000 people. • The Spectacular includes a cast of some 2,500 government school students, working towards a common goal in a collaborative, competition-free environment. • Its dual aim is to provide an invaluable performing arts opportunity to Victoria’s government school students and to showcase the enormous talent that exists in our schools. This is manifested in a 2-3 hour scripted show that celebrates a diversity of performance mediums, including choir, dance, vocal, drama and orchestra.
