There is a charge to hire the show pack and each and every performance incurs performance rights. This includes matinee and charity performances.

Musical shows can be fun, joyful, inspiring and dynamic!
Being involved in a musical production is a fantastic, stimulating and challenging experience for all involved. A musical production is a wonderful vehicle for developing skills in the performing arts and contributes enormously to group collaboration, cohesion and teamwork. As a musical show incorporates all three areas of the performing arts; dance, drama and music, it allows people with a broad range of skills and talents to participate. The process of building a show encourages positive growth in the cast and crew. The end result, the performance itself should be the best you can produce. The journey itself can also be a memorable and worthwhile experience!
