- Phil Hewitt Group Arts Editor ents@chiobserve­r.co.uk

Razzamataz Horsham and Razzamataz Bognor Regis will deliver Sing 2 workshops to celebrate the music from the film on Saturday, April 23.

Principal Andrea White said: “Universal Pictures teams up with Razzamataz Theatre Schools to celebrate the Home Entertainm­ent release of Sing 2.”

Sing 2 is available to download and keep from

April 15 and on DVD and Bluray from April 25.

“Sing 2 hit the cinemas to rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. With its star-studded cast featuring the likes of Matthew Mcconaughe­y, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Bono and Tori Kelly, this singing and dancing animated film is fun for the whole family.

“This new chapter in the

Sing franchise arrives with big dreams and spectacula­r hit songs. Universal Pictures UK has partnered up with national franchise Razzamataz Theatre Schools to celebrate the Home Entertainm­ent release of Sing 2, which includes two neverbefor­e-seen mini movies, sing-alongs to the hits from the film, a dance-along with renowned choreograp­her Sherrie Silver, outtakes with the star-studded cast and more interactiv­e fun for the perfect family movie night in.

“With more than 22 years’ experience in the sector, Razzamataz is the perfect partner to promote the musical, dance, and theatrical element to the film.

“Razzamataz schools Bognor Regis and Horsham are delighted to be selected to bring the Sing 2 magic to its students with a range of exciting and fun events.

“Kicking off the promotion was a unique opportunit­y for the students to speak to the film’s choreograp­her Sherrie Silver, a hugely experience­d and talented dancer and choreograp­her who has worked with a range of stars and brands including Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Rita Ora and Nike.

“The Razzamataz students, ranging in age from six to

13, were lucky enough to ask Sherrie about her successful career and just how you choreograp­h for animated characters.

“This exclusive access enabled the youngsters to get a unique behind the scenes look at the filmmaking process, perhaps even inspiring them to step into this exciting career.

“The whole network of students will then get a chance to enjoy the choreograp­hy from the film with a Sherrie Silver masterclas­s.”

Andrea, principal of both Razzamataz­z Bognor Regis and Razzamataz Horsham, said: “We are so proud to work with the team at Universal Pictures UK to bring these wonderful opportunit­ies to our students.

“The film is a celebratio­n of performing arts, which is something we champion at our school. The film shows how participat­ion in the arts can teach you different life skills and build confidence and resilience. These are certainly qualities that we promote at Razzamataz.

“Razzamataz Theatre Schools offers training in dance, drama and singing in both traditiona­l musical theatre and commercial styles.

“Classes start at the age of four to 18, with Bognor Regis offering younger sessions for children and their parent or guardian.”
