Students of all ages at Haverstock School in Haverstock Hill, took on the Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer film about a town where singing and dancing is outlawed, belting out their versions of numbers such as I’m Holding Out For A Hero, Somebody’s Eyes and the Kenny Loggins title track in front of friends, fellow students and parents for three nights in a row.
