Sam's Dancers perform a routine from Hairspray

The West End came to Macclesfield recently as more than 100 of the area's students staged an action packed show based around well known musicals and Hollywood blockbusters.

Macclesfield College Hair and Media Make-up students organised a dazzling evening for parents and friends in which productions such as Moulin Rouge, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Wizard of Oz, Hairspray, and Thriller were re-enacted to a spellbound audience.

The dance and catwalk show was held at Macclesfield High School and included performers from Congleton High, Energise dance group, Sam's Dancers, and Fallibroome High School.

As well as staging the successful event Macclesfield College's Hair and Media Make-up students demonstrated their skills to excellent effect as ghoulish zombies, red shoed Dorothys, Cowardly Lions and miniature orange Oompa-Loompas filled the room.

Lis Brown, Hairdressing tutor commented: 'The hours of rehearsals were definitely worth it, the show was a great success and with all the profits going to Francis House Children's Hospice in East Didsbury we know that we are also making a difference.'
