Most elementary schools do some form of annual production, but this is definitely the first time a middle school has done a Star Trek musical. It’s hard to imagine a tiny little Spock with pointy ears, but now you don’t have to imagine.
This strange sci-fi musical production comes out just in time for the release of the new Star Trek film ‘Into the Darkness.’ These phenomenal little actors dressed up as the original Star Trek cast, including Captain Kirk, Spock, medical officer Leonard McCoy and more.
This is an unusual (not to mention fantastic) idea for a middle school musical. Featuring songs about space and J.J. Abrams, this lighthearted, geeky production is likely to put a smile on the face of any Star Trek fan.
