Gotta get fit somehow”

 

 

Roy Pacer is a mythical sporting hero who now resides as a statue in the park. Roy is upset as the park authorities want to replace him with a fountain!  The local kids band together to save Roy. The money will be raised by competing for first prize in a 20km regional relay.  They have no sporting experience and battle cravings for junk food, internal squabbling and lack of commitment as they mould themselves into a fit and fantastic team.  The whole town is inspired and one of the local traders fits them with terrific pink uniforms.  They become the Pink Pacers!  Roy himself is even able to help them with his magical qualities.  This show celebrates friendship, courage and living your dreams.

A show celebrating fitness, health and positive self image.

 9 terrific songs including some big chorus numbers.  75mins. in length.

A moving and inspiring musical as the kids join together to run for Roy!

Suitable for primary or secondary students.

 

 

Way To Go

 

 

“Take a little trip out into cyberspace

Ready, now we’re going to another place”

 

 

Four kids surfing the net end up on an adventure into cyberspace. Web surfers show them the way through the grid and into the exciting site, Dragon.com. A frightening, fire breathing reptile has been sighted in the kingdom there. The kids are enlisted to assist the kingdom’s leader, Bibo to lead the inaugural Royal Dragon Hunting Squad. Accompanied by the very reluctant royal troops, they travel throughout the kingdom looking for the dragon. They meet all sorts of strange characters on the way-including the Forest Fiends.  When things become too scary, they opt to escape by trying to find a link to a friendlier site. This ends in disaster as they are arrested for blocking the  information highway at peak hour. When they return to Dragon.com they find that the KFA-Kingdom Fire Authority, has put out the dragon! The real mystery of the dragon is revealed and a happy ending ensues when the kingdom celebrates the dragon’s demise with a colourful dragon parade!

70 minutes of techno fantasy and fun. Kids will love this show.  It’s contemporary and very funny. Terrific story line with lots of humour.   9 great songs.  8 main roles and lots of cameo roles. Chorus groups including web surfers, citizens of the kingdom, Forest Fiends, Kingdom Fire Authority members, travelers on the cyber highway, etc. Easy to stage!  The dragon never actually appears but is represented in the show with sound effects.  Suitable primary or secondary students.

The palace is in uproar as it’s been discovered that Princess Jane has never smiled.  The queen is distraught.  How will Princess Jane carry out royal duties like opening fetes and launching ships?  Ms. Candice Lacey, a scheming events coordinator is employed to organise a royal quest, ‘Search for a Smile’. Comedians, slapstick performers, ticklish rock and rollers, perform for the Princess to no avail.  Is the Princess’s funny bone not operating? Are her endorphins frozen?  Does the princess have an oral hygiene problem?  Not wanting to disappoint the queen, the Princess tries to find a way to improve herself. She logs on to www.smile.com.  She performs all sorts of facial exercises.  She tries to unravel the mysteries of the chuckle and the giggle.   Ned, a lowly palace servant with a passion for magic, accidentally finds a way to transform the Princess despite the plotting of Ms. Candice Lacey and her nasty assistant.

Suitable for primary and secondary. A hilarious play.  9 terrific songs.  70-75 minutes approximately.  Marvellous numbers for large chorus groups.  Suitable for a large group or the whole school.  One of our best shows. 

 

 

 

Search for a Smile

 

 

 

“The whole royal family is fast asleep.

An eye on the palace clock we’re going to keep”

 

 

Scabiosa, the kingdom’s bad fairy is furious when she is not invited to the royal party to celebrate Princess betty’s birth.  She sets out to make as much trouble as possible and promises to send the whole kingdom to sleep for 100 years on Princess Betty’s 20th birthday.  The kingdom anxiously watches Betty grow into a very spoilt and unpleasant Princess who bites her royal nanny, listens to punk music and eats junk food! Scabiosa gate crashes the Princess’s 20th birthday party hiding in a giant present.   Everyone sleeps and only the kingdom’s sickeningly good fairy Angelica, can save the kingdom.  A Prince must be found to wake the Princess.  The hundred year rockers count down the years. Ads are placed in all the papers and a parade of unsuitable candidates apply including the “king” looking remarkably like Elvis.  Meanwhile, Scabiosa attempts to sabotage Angelica’s plans by encouraging a weird assortment of characters including the strange hooleys and some robbers bent on mischief to raid the royal palace.  The search is over when a motor bike riding prince arrives to wake Princess Betty!

Probably our most popular show ever! A contemporary fantasy packed with great music, humour and many terrific roles.  70 minutes of magic and laughter.

There are 8 songs in all-7 large chorus numbers and a finale.   There are seven main roles and many cameo roles.  A great show for the whole school or single class.

Suitable for primary and secondary students

 

 

 

Hundred Year Rock

 

 

 

All the elements of a marvellous full scale musical show-fabulous storylines appealing  to young people,

Great music and terrific range of roles including principals, cameo roles and lots of small speaking parts for some chorus members.We have been publishing these shows since 1995 and they have been performed with great success all over Australia and New Zealand.  These are shows young people love to perform in and audiences love to watch.  Shows have a strong message about an issue important to young people told with great blend of humour and intrigue and in contemporary language.  ‘Junk Yard Band’ is about kids succeeding against the odds.  ‘Brand New Me’ addresses the issue of peer group pressure and the blossoming of the unpopular kid in the group.  ‘Way to Go’ encourages young people to follow their dreams. Format is a little longer that Musicals Made Easy and the show is usually staged in two acts.  Performed by primary and secondary schools and recommended for school or groups who want to explore and develop a strong story and strong and interesting characters in their show.

150 page Production Packs available for theses shows that take care of all administrative aspects of staging; templates for all communication to staff, parents and students.  Tons of resources for publicity (ads, posters, badges, programs, etc. ) with terrific artwork  based on each show’s theme.
