are still singing songs from the show and they
still say
it was the best show they've ever been in” |

|  Inspired
by the modern preoccupation with life-changing
game shows and reality TV, this musical
explores a world obsessed with fame and
the quick fix solution of an instant win.
Count the catch phrases, as the game show’s
comic hosts treat the studio audience to
a very special show. Share in the journey
of a lifetime as 'The Reality Game' goes
in search of a contestant willing to change
everything for a chance to win a new life.
Moving between the real world, a London
station and the reality game we encounter
a variety of characters trying to find their
way through life, with one desperate to
find a short cut to the top. Through the
magical world of ‘Reality’ he
is presented with the chance to be a contestant
on tonight’s show and win the opportunity
to walk through time and leave his past
behind. But of course the choice before
him is not as easy as it seems as the life
he longs for brings its own complications:
and remember the audience has the final
vote.
Full of cameo roles that offer fun parts
for a large cast this musical will test
the best singers as well as offer the chorus
opportunities to sing and dance their way
through a light hearted morality play for
our time. |
