2025 College Musical Delights Audiences

The 2025 College musical ‘Charlie and Chocolate Factory’ was more of an event than a musical - it was tremendous!

With five sold out shows and students also coming to matinees last week, this spectacular event was seen by almost 3,000 people.

The entire production is an incredible example of a thriving arts culture at the College and was a showcase event for our talented singing, dancing, dramatic, music and visual arts students. 

Tegan Gully-Crispe for ‘The Theatre Association of South Australia’ attended opening night and was blown away by what she witnessed and wrote a glowing review, describing the production as “a feast for the senses from the theatre’s exterior glowing Wonka purple, cleverly crafted costumes to the outstanding and innovative technical aspects, this production was bursting with colour, energy, and a palpable sense of joy.” Read the full review here. 

Thanks, and congratulations are extended to the entire cast, crew and staff who created such an inspired production as 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' was one of the most all-encompassing and technically significant musicals the College has produced. 

To the talented students who were all amazing, from principals, dancers, ensemble, orchestra and backstage crew. As well as the directors Kristy Triantafilakis and Mel Lavis, choreographer Caley Watt, production and administration Lesley Johnson, costumes by Angela Girgolas, Leanne Cannizzaro and Chris Maxwell, set design by Wendy Todd, lighting by Jacob Heinze, sound by Byrce Young, set construction by Ben Johnson, Chris Hill and Joe Cannizzaro and music conduction by Emma Knights, congratulations and thank you for creating one of the best musicals Trinity has ever produced.
