Annie (2018)

Aladdin (2017)

What they can do in London’s West End, we can do too! This year’s production, a double night showing, was that of Aladdin. Dorrington continued with their tradition of getting bigger and better each year, and this was no disappointment! With some classic songs throughout the night, some marvellous acting on a magnificent stage and of course Dorrington’s own ‘Royal Collection’ dance troupe. The crowd were enthralled all night with scene changes to rival the West End and costumes to match.

The main cast included:

  • Faizaan as Aladdin
  • Marwah as Jasmine
  • Rebekah as Genie
  • Danial as Jafar
  • Ismail as Sultan
  • Azaan as Omar
  • Jamie as Saladin
  • Shamil as Iago
  • Adil as Sisco
  • Deeya as Amira
  • Rameen as Dima
  • Maria as Sana
  • Hafsah as Karima

The Royal Collection were:


Nancy, Kyra, Esther, Layla, Tiyah, Nefertáre, Safa, Shamma, Rameen, Hafsah, Reneé, Chase, Sebastian, Christian, Iniko, Riccardo, Nigel, Sulayman, Ibrahim, Abraham, Shiloh and Ray-Jay.

Mr Stink (2016)

With the previous success on a David Walliams Gangsta Granny, Dorrington embarked on turning Mr Stink into their next production. Although the play was called Mr Stink, it was anything but amazing acting, singing and dancing all around. Each year, the productions got bigger and this was no exception! A 4D performance if there was one; Mr Stink’s burps could be seen by all in the audience (some say they could smell it too!)
As always there was lots of singing and dancing on the stage. Truly magnificent.

The main cast included:

  • Isa as Mr Stink
  • Tabasum as Chloe
  • Huda as Mum
  • Abidah as Annabel
  • Suha as the Prime Minister
  • Salehedin as the Prime Minister’s husband
  • Ibrahim as Dad
  • Hana as the main reporter
  • Bailey as Mr Stink’s dog

Following the success of David Walliams books, Dorrington thought about how they could adapt the story for their take on it. With a motorized scooter at hand and Raj’s best deals the production was afoot. As always the children were magnificent with their acting, singing and dancing.

The main cast included:

  • Simeon as Ben
  • Aisha as Gran
  • Suha as Ben’s sister
  • Hana as Mum
  • Ryan as Dad
  • Hanzala as Raj (The Local Newsagent)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2014)

Come with us into a world of pure imagination…
This year Dorrington put on their version of Charlie and the Chocolate factory. The hugely successful production was a delight to watch with the children acting, singing and dancing throughout the production. Who could forget that moment when Mike Teevee was shrunk down to an Action-man size or when Violet turned violet and blew up like a blueberry!

The main cast included:

  • Huzaifa as Charlie Bucket
  • Simeon as Grandpa Joe
  • Orion as Willy Wonka
  • Gianna as Veruca Salt
  • Shontréz as Violet Beauregarde
  • Arjen as Mike Teevee
  • Spencer as Augustus Gloop
