Best Foot Forward A fabulous show celebrating dance and community. A wonderful opportunity for your whole school to get involved in dance from many different eras. Styles include disco, rap, rock and roll, swing and more. Loads of choreographic tips included. Lots of fun!

Brand New Me! This fabulous rock and roll show has been updated in a new and appealing format but retains all the great elements of the Fifties-the milk bar, the car, the juke box and the dance. Celebrating ten years of performance since publication, this remains one of our favourites.

Circus Splendida: We received wonderful reviews about this show first published in 2004. Brimming with energy, humour and colour, it was performed in halls, theatres and tents all over Australia and New Zealand last year!

Search for a Smile: A fabulous, contemporary show brimming with great music and laughs. One of our best!

Hundred Year Rock : A hilarious, contemporary fantasy. . We’ve had marvelous feedback about this musical play. Many schools have said it’s their best show ever!

Show Time at Sea : The first of our category A show, published in 2003. It was staged all over Australia last year with great success. Rave reviews from those who performed it!

Dragon.com : If you’re looking for a contemporary fantasy, with lots of humor, terrific story line, great music, this is the show for you! Lots of great roles and a modern, techno storyline! Schools that have staged it loved it!

Category A Shows: Musicals Made Easy

This format has been hugely successful as it gives a whole school the opportunity to involve everyone and everything is done for you. Each class or group just rehearses its own fabulous item. The easiest way to stage a spectacular show that still has a storyline and lots of speaking roles. If you have some especially talented cast members, there are opportunities for them to shine too.

-Simple to stage, one set shows of about 50-60 minutes in length.

-Especially suitable for a whole school or large group production. Items can be rehearsed separately.

-12 or more items showcasing dance, drama and music aimed at all levels and based around a central theme.

-A simple story line. Cameo roles link items together with excerpts of dialogue by children from each performance group.

-Put all the parts together and stage a polished and entertaining show!

All you need to stage a great school concert is provided including master script, lyrics and sheet music booklet, CD-vocal and instrumental backing, an activity book for the whole school and free production/promotion material. Lots of suggestions on staging too!
