End of year/leavers musical for 7-11 years (KS2)Running time 60 minutes approx.Do you remember your first day at school? Or the first time you were sent to see the head? What about first time you stood on the starting line clutching an egg and spoon? School is the place where we experience many ?firsts?, and the most memorable can be re-lived through the songs and sketches in this hilarious, emotionally-charged new musical, which promises to deliver a bucket-load of laughs?and tears! Whatever else your children, their teachers and parents remember about school, this is a production they'll never ever forget!Plot summaryFour nervous candidates are waiting to be interviewed for their first ever job! As they sit in a state of agitation they begin talking to each other about life before they entered the big, bad world, and reminisce about the safety and security of being young and going to school. (song ? ?Do You Recall??) As they recall many of the ?first times? that school provided, it soon becomes clear that perhaps it wasn?t the plain-sailing, easy life they at first remembered it to be!Take your first ever day at school, for instance, and witness one family?s chaotic start to the morning. (song ? ?My First Day At School?) Will the crying stop long enough to get little Milly into her new school shoes and out of the door?And learning to tell the time? The frustration, the confusion, the pain?and that was just how the teacher felt! (song ? ?Telling The Time?) Making sense of a clock for the first time is far from easy, as we see in this scene!Waiting outside an office brings back a very memorable ?first? for the interviewees ? being sent to the head! What horrors lie in wait behind the door for a group of little ones who?ve been sent from the classroom in disgrace? (song ? ?I?ve Been sent To The Head?) Are the tales of canes and slippers, told to them by parents and grandparents, real or just folklore from a dark and distant past?!The first shot at sporting glory we ever get is taking part in the much celebrated Egg and Spoon race. For the watching parents it might only be a camcorder moment at which to go ?Aaaah!?, but for the competitors it?s the chance to be a hero! And every dirty trick in the book will be used to ensure this chance is not wasted! (song ? ?Egg And Spoon?)Who remembers the first time they were allowed to attend an after-school club? The promise of something exciting, out of the ordinary! For the group of children in this scene, perhaps the reality might not quite live up to the expectation! (song ? ?Football, Netball, Drama, Dance?)And finally, primary school gives us another first ? our first real goodbye. Leaving at the end of year 6 introduces us to new feelings and new expectations. Life seems to be getting more serious, but at the same time more exciting. All of this is wonderfully captured in the final scene, and song ? ?The End Of The Road?

All year round musical for 7-11 yearsRunning time 60 minutes approx.Whilst moving out of the house in which she has lived for 80 years, Edith Coleman discovers an old scrapbook from her childhood. The turn of every page rekindles memories of a time when war affected every aspect of her daily life. But despite the perils of the Blitz, evacuation, rations and bossy ARP wardens, we learn of how families and communities cared for and supported each other, found comfort and humour in their unusual circumstances, and ultimately triumphed in the face of adversity.Whether you are looking for a rousing school musical to swell the hearts of your cast and audience, or a comprehensive curriculum resource that educates and entertains, ?Edith?s Wartime Scrapbook? is all you could wish for, and more!Plot summaryWhilst moving out of the house in which she has lived for 80 years, Edith Coleman discovers an old scrapbook from her childhood. The turn of every page rekindles memories of a time when war affected every aspect of her daily life, and these memories are eagerly recounted to the removal people helping her, and to us the audience. (song ? Wartime Memories)Firstly, we find ourselves in the front room of the same house, but at the outbreak of the Second World War. The Coleman family discusses the fact that, although war has been declared, nothing much seems to be actually happening! The only real use that Fred (Edith?s scamp of a younger brother) can find for his gas mask is to make rude noises with it! (song ? This Phoney War) However, as the days and weeks progress, Fred and Alice (Edith?s younger sister) find themselves at the train station, bidding an emotional farewell to their family as, along with lots of other children, they are evacuated. (song ? Journey On A Train) Edith?s older brother, Sidney, will also be catching a train. He, however, will be travelling abroad to fight for his country, much to the worry of his parents.The Blitz has ended the phoney war with a bang! As ARP wardens patrol (song ? Put That Light Out), local residents gather in the air-raid shelters. We hear of how rationing and those dreaded powdered eggs are the blight of their lives, but also how everyone is pulling together and literally digging for victory! (song ? Keep Our Spirits Flying) Women are flocking to the factories and onto the land to keep the nation armed and fed (song ? Women At War), and the ?old boys? of the Home Guard are doing their bit too, if rather comically, to aid the war effort! (song ? We Are The Home Guard)As the USA enters the war, the young ladies are very excited at the arrival of American soldiers in Britain. At the dancehall we learn that, although popular with the female population, these charming visitors are seen as more of a threat to the local lads than Hitler himself! (song ? Hollywood Girls) However, the harsher realities of the war are made apparent as we witness Sidney caught up in the fighting at Arnhem. He and his comrades, fearful for their lives, take a moment to write what could be their last ever letters home. (song ? Will You Be There?) Will Sidney make it back, and will the Coleman family be reunited?With the end of the war and VE celebrations in full swing, we understand that victory has come at a cost. Yet the overwhelming feeling is one of hope, and an appreciation of the enduring spirit that enabled famil

Daisy Bond/Ian Faraday: Stable Boy

Daisy Bond/Ian Faraday: Stable Boy

Nativity musical for 4-7 years (KS1)Running time 45 minutes approx.James dreams of a glamorous life as a fisherman on the great Sea of Galilee, but in reality his days are spent tending to the assorted livestock in the stable behind a small inn in Bethlehem. The arrival of lots of visitors (and donkeys) to the town one day, means that poor James has to work even harder, with no thanks from the grumpy innkeeper and his wife! However, as the events of that special night unfold, James realises that the future is brighter than he'd thought, and that dreams can indeed come true!Plot summaryIn the opening song (All Work, No Play), we meet James, who longs to escape his dull life tending to the animals in the stable behind an inn. The innkeeper, his wife and the maid only add to James?s woes, criticizing his work and calling him a ?lazy good-for-nothing?! Though fed-up with their harsh words, James finds comfort in his dream of one day becoming a fisherman, like those who visit the inn after a long but thrilling day aboard their boats on the Sea of Galilee (song ? A Fisherman?s Life).One morning James is told by the excited innkeeper that he needs to double his efforts around the stable, as Bethlehem is full of visitors all looking for a place to stay and to rest their donkeys after their long journeys (song ? Knock! Knock! Knock!). James has to forget his day-dreaming for a while, and concentrate on seeing to all the four-legged arrivals (song ? Donkey Work)!As James sleeps soundly, exhausted from his busiest day ever, the stable animals notice that the night sky seems far brighter than usual. They realise that, as the stars dance, it must be a sign that something wonderful is about to happen (song ? Song Of The Stars). As the largest star settles overhead, the innkeeper ushers in a woman (who is soon to have a baby) and a man. He explains that he can only offer them the stable, as the inn is full. He roughly wakes up James, telling him to tend to the couple?s donkey. The woman and man speak kindly to James, and he knows they must be very special people indeed. As a host of angels watches over the scene, James takes the donkey and leaves the couple to have their baby in peace (song ? Jesus Is Born).And the visitors just keep coming! First, some shepherds arrive with a lamb, much to the annoyance of the maid, who instructs James to stop the animal chewing her washing! Next come three royal visitors on camels (to which James must tend), with gifts for the baby. Soon the stable is full to bursting, as everyone gathers round the manger on which the baby is laid, and gives thanks for his birth (song ? Kneel At The Manger). When James is invited by the woman to come closer and see the baby, he is filled with a with a feeling of hope, believing his life can change for the better and that great things lie ahead for him.We learn, as a postscript from the narrators, that James's dreams of becoming a fisherman do indeed come true. One day he is greeted from his fishing boat by a gentle young man, whose eyes James recognises as those of the baby he met in the stable many years before. The man invites James to join Him, leading him on the biggest adventure of his life! (song ? Dreams Can Come True).

Andrew Oxspring: A Blast From The Past

Andrew Oxspring: A Blast From The Past

End of year/leavers musical for 7-11 yearsRunning time 60 minutes approx.Try telling a child what school used to be like in Mum and Dad's (or even their grandparents') day, and they'd never believe you! Well, here's an opportunity to let them experience it for themselves, and also provide a nostalgic trip for those who can remember when free school milk came in bottles! When navy-blue knickers were every schoolgirl's must-have accessory! When a swish of the cane awaited any child who pushed their luck! When school photographs were taken with cameras that contained film, and everyone learned to read with 'Janet & John'. But although a lot has changed since then, one thing stays the same?the one thing that is celebrated in this fantastic new musical?school can be a lot of fun! Plot SummaryFollowing the opening song (?A Blast From The Past?) we join two children, Alice and James, at home with their family. They are feeling slightly put-out that a number of their classmates will be missing the final week at school in favour of early holidays to Disney World and Centre Parks, while they still have to face the daily grind! As Mum, Dad, Gran and Grandpa try to console them with the fact that their last week will be more relaxed, with trips, parties, non-uniform days and suchlike, the conversation turns to their own memories of school in the ?olden? days! These recollections provide us with some hilarious snapshots of what things used to be like in the dim and distant past!For example, what did school children used to wear? Well, with the aid of a catwalk, two flamboyant presenters and a few reluctant models, we find out the answer! In a fashion show that demonstrates what every discerning child would have worn to school through the ages, we are re-introduced to some memorable designs, culminating in the celebration of a truly classic item! (song ? ?Navy Blue Knickers?)Dad digs out an old whole-school photo and we learn how, with skill, timing and nimble feet, he?s managed to appear twice in the same picture! Confused? All is revealed, and we come to appreciate that having your photo taken at school these days can be a slightly more stressful affair for all concerned?especially the photographer! (song ? ?Sit Still And Smile?)James and Alice then listen in stunned silence as the adults talk about the methods that ?old-school? headteachers used to discipline unruly pupils! We witness a training day when enthusiastic heads are put through their paces and instructed in the best techniques for wielding a cane! Painfully funny! (song ? ?Six Of The Best?)Remember free school milk, in bottles? Mum and Dad certainly do, and also the thrill of being picked to be the ultimate teacher?s helper?.milk monitor! However, we soon discover that being given a daily bottle of the ?white stuff? didn?t always provide the benefits to a child?s health that it was supposed to! (song ? ?Drink Your Milk?)And what about learning to read? It used to be a much less-complicated affair, all done with those loveable and memorable characters, Janet and John. Forget phonemes, digraphs and compound-words, and enjoy a tongue-in-cheek reminder of when it was as simple as ABC! (song ? ?Pink For A Girl, Blue For A Boy?)As the family?s conversation draws to an end, Alice and James are filled with a new- found enthusiasm for going to school, and realise that thei

Andrew Oxspring: School Daze - 10th Anniversary Edition

Andrew Oxspring: School Daze - 10th Anniversary Edition

End of year/leavers musical for 7-11 years (KS2)Running time 60 minutes approx.School Daze was Edgy Productions' first ever musical, released in January 2001. Over the years it has proved to be their most popular and best-selling end-of-year/leaver's production, but it's now showing its age! To mark its 10th anniversary it's had a complete makeover and, whilst still maintaining the charm and fun of the original, it now has extra brand new songs, a fresh and updated script and score, and re-recorded backing tracks. So, celebrate your children's time at school as we look back and laugh at those unique things that make it so special!Plot summaryThe year is 2075. Billy and Becky, two typical eleven-year-olds, are staying over at their grandparents? ?pod?, in the sheltered sector. Like all doting grandparents the old folks are keen to keep abreast of their grandchildren?s progress, and to gain an insight into their experiences of primary school ? or ?System A? as it is now known! Billy and Becky are also eager to learn of Grandma and Grandpa?s antics as they approached their teenage years, back in 2011. (song ? Old School Days)As the evening?s conversation wears on it becomes apparent that these children from the latter half of the 21st century are really no different to those who were leaving primary school back in the ?good old days?. Equally apparent is that some experiences of primary school span generations, and the truly noteworthy ones always involve larger-than-life characters and funny situations. Through a series of flashbacks, in the form of sketches and songs, we get an entertaining (if tongue-in-cheek) glimpse of the universal trials and tribulations involved in simply being young and going to school.For example, is it fair that teachers get to eat chocolate biscuits at break-time, while children make do with bits of fruit? (song ? Teachers Have It Easy) How can mums be made to understand that, now their children are getting older, they must not, under any circumstances, try to hold their hand on the way to school? (song ? A.T.T.I.T.U.D.E.) Does experimenting with makeup and hair-gel really improve ones appearance, especially when the skills of applying them haven?t quite been mastered yet? (song ? A Touch Of Lipstick) Will anyone ever develop a truly effective cure for a dose of nits? (song ? The Nits Blues) What?s the best way to get good SATs results without piling the pressure on? (song ? It?s Nearly Time To Take Your SATs) Who suffers most at parental consultations, and why do teachers choose to be ?economical? with the truth? (song ? Parental Consultation Evening) And who can forget desperately wanting to be grown-up, but having the feeling that maybe this is the best time of ones life, and every moment should be cherished? (song ? One Day At A Time).

All year round musical for 7-11 years (KS2)Running time 60 minutes approx.This all-year-round adaptation of this best-selling Christmas musical will bring the house down! Two abandoned children, the wickedest and funniest witch and step-mother you could imagine, a cottage with real 'chocolate-box' appeal, a flock of down-and-out birds, a gang of dim-witted bandits, and a whole lot more go into the mix for this lively and entertaining take on a classic tale.Plot summaryWe begin in the family's poor cottage, where Hansel, Gretel and their father ponder the possibility of running out of food! Their stepmother, on the other hand, can only moan that she needs a new fur coat, which she could have had if she'd done as her mother advised and married the wealthy Herbert Goldsworthy when she had the chance! (song - A Sorry Situation) When the children go to bed, she reveals to her husband a dastardly plan to take them deep into the forest and abandon them! (song - What A Wicked Woman) Having overheard this plan, as they are led far from the cottage the next day, Hansel and Gretel leave a trail of breadcrumbs which they intend to follow home.Tired from their long walk, and alone in the forest, the two children fall asleep. As they doze a flock of hungry birds enters, complaining about the lack of worms, the meagre titbits being left by humans these days, and how their only opportunity for a feed might be to ambush a squirrel! (song - Those Good Old Days) Noticing the breadcrumbs, however, they eat their fill, leaving the children no way of finding their way home!Next, Hansel and Gretel run into a bungling gang of robbers (song - Robbers' Tango), who spot the opportunity to kidnap the children and ransom them for cash! However, their wits are no match for Gretel's, and she and her brother make a comical escape. They run deeper into the forest, where things get a little creepier, and talking trees warn them that 'this is no place for children!' (song - This Bad, Bad Place).Finally, exhausted and hungry, the children stumble across an enchanting cottage (song - The Gingerbread House), built from every delicious confectionary imaginable. Encouraged by a curious group of goblins, they eat their fill, before being introduced to the owner of the cottage! At first this little old woman is welcoming, asking them to stay and rest, and eat as much as they can. However, she soon shows her true colours! Hansel is imprisoned while Gretel must 'force-feed' him in order to, as the old witch puts it, 'fatten him up' for the pot! (song - Better Than One Is Two).As the wicked woman makes final preparations for her big meal (song - Dinner At The Double), it's down to the brave Gretel to once again save the day. Using her cunning and daring she literally 'closes the lid' on the old woman's dining plans and escapes with her brother! After a joyful reunion with their father, the children deservedly celebrate with the biggest, party ever! (song - Finale).

Paris, a handsome but sly Trojan, is asked to make the tough decision on their behalf.

Andrew Oxspring: What Christmas Means To Me

Andrew Oxspring: What Christmas Means To Me

Christmas musical for 4-7 and 7-11 yearsRunning time 45 minutes (KS1) or 60 minutes (KS2) approx.This entertaining new musical takes a witty yet thoughtful look at the characters and events that shape our experiences of the festive season. Laugh at the blind panic of last-minute shoppers, Christmas day early-risers eager to get their hands on what?s under the tree, Christmas-cracker addicts, and the ageing Rich Clifford's annual challenge for the Christmas number one! But we also consider how Christmas came to be, and learn that all the trappings of our modern celebrations mean very little, unless we are able to share this time of year with our nearest and dearest. Plot summaryThe show begins with a resounding, whole-cast sing-a-long of the opening number - 'What Does Christmas Mean To You?' after which we find ourselves in the familiar surroundings of a classroom! Although it's the last few days of the school term, and the children think they should be taking it easy, the teacher still wants her class to produce one more piece of writing, entitled 'What Christmas Means To Me'. With the children's discussion of their ideas providing the continuity, we become witness to some truly entertaining seasonal delights!We all know what it's like, trying to do some last minute Christmas shopping, and the characters in our first scene sum up the experience beautifully, providing us with lots to laugh at! (song - 'I'd Rather Stay At Home')What would Christmas be without a festive song from an ageing pop star? Join daytime talk-show host, June Chandler, as she interviews the legendary 'Sir' Rich Clifford, who at sixty years old can still make his fans go week at the knees! Then sit back in a comfy chair and enjoy his not-quite-energetic performance, accompanied by his famous backing singers, the Bellafonté Sisters. (song - 'The Christmas Number One')How many children can resist the urge to get up at 3 o'clock on Christmas morning to see what presents Santa has left under the tree? Certainly not the one in this scene, which isn't surprising when the present in question is a shiny new games console! Mum and Dad's numerous attempts throughout the day to drag their youngster away from the TV screen are futile! And what about poor Grandma and Grandpa, who just want to sit on the settee and watch the Queen? (song - 'X-Box, Playstation or Wii')Christmas crackers - don't you just love them? Well, nobody loves them quite as much as the children in the next scene. Even when their relentless pursuit of 'bangs', paper hats and corny jokes threaten to ruin Christmas dinner, they still can't help themselves! And who can blame them! (song - 'Let's Pull Another Cracker')Next we are reminded of the reason why we celebrate Christmas - the Nativity. A traditional tableau is presented to a short narration of the bible story, and a meaningful new song - 'A Night To Remember'So, with lots to think about, the class conclude that Christmas can mean different things to different people, and our hopes for the 'big day' may not necessarily be the same as everyone else's. However, it is unanimously agreed that what really makes Christmas special is what many of us take for granted - the chance to spend some precious time with the people we love. (song - 'Just Being Together') After all, where's the fun in pulling a cracker on your own?
