THE GREATEST SHOW 2023
If ever an event succeeded in bringing a whole school community together, then St. Mary’s C.B.S. Clonmel’s production ‘The Greatest Show’ certainly accomplished that. Enjoyed by crowds of close to 3,000 patrons, over five performances, this production undoubtedly lived up to its billing.
The whole town of Clonmel has been waxing lyrical about the uplifting, spectacular and novel performance which afforded opportunities to every pupil, and indeed staff member, in St. Mary’s CBS, to showcase their talents. And this they did to acclaim and applause from a most receptive and enthusiastic crowd.
The setting for this undertaking, Fossett’s Big Top Circus Tent in Powerstown Park really lent itself to the production of this amazing event. A spectacle that will live long in the memory of each boy who performed in it and one that will leave an indelible mark on the minds of the audience members who witnessed it.
Production by Principal Eóin Morrissey, with Musical direction from Jilly Powell and Choreography by Aoife O’Keeffe and Saoirse Scully, it was mind-boggling to comprehend that this show was being performed by an all-boys’ primary school, ranging in age from six to twelve years. Standing ovations at the end of every performance and deafening applause reverberating around the Big Top left the boys in no doubt that they had delivered an extraordinary performance.
It was a unique event that has never been witnessed in the area before and one which will probably never be replicated again. It has certainly put St. Mary’s C.B.S. on the map in the Clonmel area and further afield. The whole school community can be so proud of this outstanding achievement which reflects so well on the inclusive and happy culture of the school.
