LIZZIE JAY TO PLAY THE LEAD IN NEW WEST END SHOW.

Polly and Kester Parish are bored of first days. This is their fifth new school in five years thanks to Mum’s job. This school seems a bit different though. Every student seems to have suffered a random freaky accident. Some of them enjoy snapping their limbs and slamming their fingers in doors. That Head Mistress is definitely not all there, not to mention the creepy caretaker. Welcome to The Other School - once you’re part of the system it’ll never let you leave!!

A 'psycho'logical new musical from the writer of Departure Lounge and the associate director of Matilda.

Lizzie trained in Ballet, Modern and Tap with Turning Pointe from the age of 2 to 18, achieving her Grade 8 Ballet last year with Distinction. Having done Musical Theatre since the age of 6, she has played many memorable roles including Wendla in 'Spring Awakening' at the Brighton Fringe Festival, Tracy Turnblad in 'Hairspray' and Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz'. She now studies Ancient History and Egyptology at UCL and continues Musical Theatre as a hobby, having just played Florence in 'Chess' with UCLU Musical Theatre Society. As a member of the National Youth Theatre from the age of 13, 'The Other School' will be her first performance with the National Youth Music Theatre and she is absolutely thrilled to have gained the lead role of Polly in this new musical.
