Lakefield High School Covers Hit Broadway Song on Its Anniversary

Broadway may have some new rising stars in the future after this performance.

Students of the Lakefield College School (LCS) Musical Theater have recorded their own version of the hit song, “Seasons of Love” from the Broadway musical, “Rent” by Johnathan Larsen.

The performance pays tribute to the song that celebrates its 25th anniversary this year since it debuted in 1996.

“The Lakefield College School Musical Theatre students chose to perform this song since, during this past year, we have all had to savour the little moments and make the most of them,” said Geoff Bemrose, LCS teacher. “As a Peterborough community, we have come together stronger than ever and this is a great reminder to make every second count.”

Every student was recorded individually under the school’s theatre lights to comply with the COVID-19 pandemic. Screenshot.

The video was shot and edited by local filmmaker Tyler Boyco and the music was produced by local artist Beau Dixon. Bemrose directed the video saying it took several hours to produce.

LCS uploaded the video on Wednesday and it has almost 600 views on YouTube.
