Show producer Kieran Corr explained: "Last May we performed Les Miserables School Edition with our teenagers and we needed to do another show around the same dates with this particular age group.

"The suggestion of Glee in concert was raised and since exams are coming up soon we did not want to go into major rehearsals with this age group and a concert format seemed the best option."
