Newark Drama Club to stream ‘We Will Rock You’

Newark High School Drama Club’s cast and crew of the Queen musical “We Will Rock You: School Edition” have worked under COVID guidelines and challenges to produce the school’s first filmed musical.
The final product will be streamed at 7 p.m. May 14-15 and 2 p.m. May 16.
“It’s our most unique musical production to date,’’ director Emily Howard said. “Like every school district, Newark faced challenges when mounting a spring musical. Students had to be 12 feet apart when singing. In order to safely capture the audio, we took advantage of our recording studio right at NHS. Our soloists took turns singing in the booth over the musical tracks. It made us feel like real, professional musicians. For our ensemble sound, we captured the group on stage one night during a recording session. This gave students another unique experience.
