A rising star from Morecambe is set to take the West End by storm as she performs at London’s Leicester Square Theatre this week.
Abigail Buczynski, who is tipped for future success as a professional dancer, is one of the high-flying final year students at Liverpool Theatre School who will take over the West End theatre for a graduation showcase on Thursday (23 March).
The talented former Bay Leadership Academy student, who has been dancing since she was four years old, is set to graduate this summer after completing an elite training course in Professional Dance at the prestigious Liverpool Theatre School whose alumni can be seen in hit shows such as SIX, Frozen the Musical, Blood Brothers and Wicked.
Speaking on taking to the West End stage for the first time, 18-year-old Abigail said: “I feel very lucky to have the chance to perform at the Leicester Square Theatre and knowing the agents in the audience will be on the lookout for new talent makes the experience even more exciting.
‘’My dream is to dance professionally and this is a fantastic opportunity to show just what I can do as a performer. I can’t wait to get out there and do what I love best!”
Principal Maxine Ellis, said: “Staging a showcase in the heart of London’s West End provides our graduating students with an opportunity to perform in front of some of the most influential names in the industry, which will be an invaluable experience as they prepare to launch their professional careers.
“Abigail is an exceptionally talented student who gives every performance her best and I’m sure she will impress the audience during the West End showcase. This is a crucial time for our final year students and we are very much looking forward to seeing how their futures progress. Abigail is definitely one to watch!”
Liverpool Theatre School, which counts dance legend Wayne Sleep and renowned theatre producer Bill Kenwright among its patrons, provides a range of elite training programmes in performing arts, with places being awarded to only the most talented students through an audition process.
