This new series follows the lives of the students and teachers at the prestigious D&B Academy of Performing Arts in Bromley. Going behind the scenes of a real-life stage school, the series bears witness to the all-singing, all-dancing rollercoaster journey of auditions, love affairs and jazz hands. In episode one, it's jazz hands at dawn as Donna and Bonnie welcome two new students, Rachael and former X-Factor contestant Casey, to Stage School. Whilst everyone else seizes the opportunity to eye up the new competition, unlucky-in-love Durone jumps at the chance to take nervous newbie Rachael under his wing in an attempt to win her affections. The girlband auditions get underway and Pia takes it upon herself to invite new boy, Casey, along to Daniella's birthday party.
