Other notable songs included: Not Your Barbie Girl by Aqua and Ava Max, Barbie Dreams by Fifty Fifty and Kaliiii, and What Was I Made For by Billie Eilish.

Claire Louise Rosser, principal of Stagecoach Performing Arts Wokingham, said: “It was an amazing experience witnessing our students unite and showcase their talents on the stage of His Majesty’s Theatre.
