Last weekend, the Sveta Jana majorettes opened a portal that took them and the spectators straight to the place where the night is brighter than the day. They turned the theater hall in Jastrebarsko into a real small Broadway theater for their traditional annual concert. They may not be artists from the world’s leading stages, but our majorettes are artists who, even for the ninth time, manage to bring a new story to the stage, a new character that takes people to a new dimension for a short time.
The musical story began with a quarrel between a migrant woman from Puerto Rico and an American woman. With that, they brought a touch of the atmosphere from the romantic drama musical West Side Story. Then, from the youngest to the oldest group, the performances of well-known musicals followed. Somewhere over the rainbow where dreams really do come true, the youngest, children’s ensemble took us by embodying the girl Dorothy Gale from the musical Wizard of Oz. For this special evening, the Cats, represented by the cadet 2nd team, met on stage at the ball. In characters from one of the world’s biggest musicals, Mamma Mia! the cadets followed after traveling to a Greek island. After that, the dancing junior ensemble arrived on stage as a Hairspray musical. Finally, the mysterious and fearless Phantoms of the Opera arrived from Paris, just like the senior team of Sveta Jana majorettes.
Every year, as a sign of gratitude for the effort invested in the team, but also the progress of the entire association, individual girls receive special awards from the Sveta Jana majorettes.
