Arabian Nights (18m, 9f, 11m/f) -

The story of the beautiful queen Sheherezade, and her ability to tell captivating stories to her cruel husband, King Sharyar. Five stories are played out in song and dance, and, in their telling Sheherezade neatly leads the King's mind away from his reason for being heartless and cruel, ensuring her own future as queen is secure. Large cast, superb music ... great fun.

Star Crossed (4m, 1f, 9m/f), 75-90 mins

An affectionate take on space sagas. Set on board the Alpha Zee in a galaxy not far away, it tells the story of chidlhood friends Rocky (the captain) and Ricky (his junior Navigation Officer), who, together with Princess Alena (a stowaway) try and outwit the evil General Garth and his henchmen, Bill and Bob. They mean to capture the runaway Princess, and return her to Imperator Zaphon, her father, by using mind probes on the crew and revealing certain information about Ricky and Rocky's past. The musical is a fun two-act piece with easy-to-learn music and lyrics.


Treasure Island! (8m/f plus 3m/f support) 100 mins
This universally known story is superbly brought to life with an injection of song, dance and humour. The original plot is woven into a superb musical version, capable of being played by children (12+ years) or by adults. All the original characters appear - Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver, Ben Gunn etc with a few new ones added to provide additional parts and storylines. Certain 'liberties' have been taken with RL Stevenson's original plot and words in order to accomodate a number of aspects of modern life which a modern audience can relate to, and laugh at.

1605 And All That! (8m principals plus 13m, 1f support)

A fabulous musical for schools - not so much a black comedy, more a black pantomime telling the tale of the Gunpowder Plot. In some respects this is very much a tale of our time, given the central, underlying reason for the attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament was religious intolerance. It has an exceptionally well-written script with excellent musical numbers that complement the story being told. The subject matter is covered in an easy-to-understand manner in a generally comedic style which ranges from satire to slapstick.


AD79 (5m, 4f, 1m/f),
A historical musical where the audience knows the inevitable cataclysmic ending before the curtain even rises! AD 79 is the story of the lives and loves, dreams and schemes of the citizens of Roman Pompeii just prior to the earth shattering events that would leave the town forever frozen in time. This musical has a fresh, innovative feel to it, and is ideal for teenage or adult actors alike.
 

The Razzle Dazzle Man (8m, 10f), 100 mins

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.
