A Christmas
Carol (Principals : 6m, 3f, 1m/f, 1 child
male) |
| A relatively easy to
stage, musical version of the Dickens classic tale.
Some interesting principal roles and lots of chorus
work combine to make this an ideal choice for groups
that produce a Christmas fund-raiser in between
their main shows, or maybe taking the place of a
panto as an alternative piece of traditional Christmas
theatre. |

Class Of
77 (Principals 7m, 5f, Support : 3m, 2f) |
| Come back to Britain
in the 1970’s when ‘The Generation Game’
and ‘The Good Life’ ruled our TV sets,
and the Ford Cortina ruled our roads. As their final
year at school comes to an end, the class of ’77
wonders what the future will bring … and fifteen
years later a school reunion brings them back together.
As old scores are settled and old flames are re-ignited,
they realise that their golden years are not those
gone by, but those up ahead. With fourteen exciting
original songs in styles ranging through Rock, Pop
and Ballads, ‘Class Of 77’ is funny,
touching, invigorating, and (for those of us old
enough to remember) wonderfully evocative of a youth
untroubled by 21st century distractions. |

Country
Love (1m, 1f) No
Chorus Required |
| The typical dialogue
that occurs after the breakdown of a marriage, only
it takes place in song and words. Vern sings his
story in a cheap Country music karaoke bar while
Tammy Lea, a famous Country singer records a 'behind
the music' TV programme. Unusual and emotional. |
 |
Cruisin'
: the musical (8m, 9f plus chorus) |
Cruisin’ is
an exciting new musical filled with comedy, pathos
and catchy musical numbers with songs in the style
and spirit of the pioneers of rock n roll. It
tells a vibrant, energetic and engaging musical
story that follows Vinnie Russo, a young Italian
kid as he struggles to escape from his Papa's
expectations, to take his place in the modern
1950's world of motorbikes, rock and roll - and
girls! |
|
Do Or
Die (Principals : 5m, 4f) |
From the same creative
team that brought you 'Eurobeat' – this
cool new musical 'Do Or Die' was written by Craig
Christie with music composed and arranged by Andrew
Patterson. It's a musical about the three-way
struggle for supremacy in a secondary school –
the hockey loving girls vs the football mad boys
vs the overworked staff! The musical style combines
'70s funk with current pop trends in a soundtrack
that is attention grabbing and totally contemporary. |
 |
Pride
And Prejudice (5m, 10f) |
| The story told in Pride
And Prejudice of the Bennet family, centred as it
is on the relationship between the proud aristocrat
Fitzwilliam Darcy and the high-spirited Elizabeth
Bennet, is one of the most enduringly popular novels
of all time and has had a far-reaching influence
on all romantic fiction right up to the present
day. This musical disappoints neither Austen fans
nor theatre audiences.. |
 |
Princess
Diana - the musical (11m, 13f, 5m/f) |
| 'Princess Diana, the
musical' tells the story of Charles and Diana; focussing
on their courtship, their marriage and her relationship
with her children and the rest of the Royal Family.
The musical culminates with her divorce, but ends
at the time of her funeral. As the musical progresses
it portrays the evolution of the young Diana into
the intelligent, mature woman who, becomes arguably
the most famous, (certainly one of the most famous),
women in the world. |
 |

Take
Twelve (3m, 3f) No
Chorus Required |
| Based around Shakespeare's 'Twelfth
Night', this light comedy drama is a mixture of
Shakespeare, pop culture, movie making and romance.
Whilst it pays homage to the original story, it
has been updated for a modern audience. Set in modern
California, tender love songs, mistaken identites
and a vaudeville-style soft-shoe shuffle all combine
to deliver an outstanding musical feast. |

The
Razzle Dazzle Man (8m, 10f) |
| The story is based loosely on the
parable of The Prodigal Son coupled with Faustian
soul-selling. A young man, bored with life on the
farm, travels to the big city, only to be drawn
into the underworld of Lew Cifer. Lew and his band
of female sinners lead him into crime, but he is
drawn back to the straight and narrow by his girlfriend
and a mysterious old woman. With its fast-paced
modern style and full complement of rock 'n roll
songs, love songs and superb dance possibilities,
'The Razzle Dazzle Man' is a terrific musical show,
with an underlying moral theme that it tells without
preaching. |
 |
The
White Rose (8m, 10f) |
| 'The White Rose' is based on the
true story of a group of students at Munich University
in 1942 who formed a resistance movement to Hitler's
regime. It traces the story of Sophie Scholl, her
brother Hans, and his friends as they despair of
the increasingly totalitarian lives being forced
onto the German nation. 'The White Rose' is a musical
production both intimate and epic in its portrayal
of the story and characters involved, and, though
drawn from the pages of history, it is as relevant
today as it was when it originally unfolded during
the dark days of war. |
