Synopsis

Childrens Musical. Script and Score. Age Range 8 - 12. 6 original songs, 4 traditional carol excerpts with contemporary backings and 2 popular Christmas songs.
This highly entertaining and original children's musical starts as a school concert is ending. The children are singing ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ and the song gets ‘stuck’ as soon as they reach the words ‘five gold rings’. Matt and Lucy, two children who loathe each other, find themselves whisked away to a strange land, where they meet Mr. Partridge and various other characters from the ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’ song. Their mission is to find a missing gold ring in order for everything to return to normal. They will only succeed if they learn to resolve their differences and discover each other’s strengths, as well finding the true ‘gold’ that can be given at Christmas. The plentiful humour in the show is complemented by its meaningful underlying message.

We are committed to writing and publishing the kind of materials that teachers and pupils can produce with confidence.

All of our musicals are intended to be thought-provoking as well as fun; we feel that shows and songs with depth can be highly entertaining as well as satisfying for everyone concerned. Through many of our musicals children will have opportunities to explore issues in a dramatic context which are relevant to their lives in the 21st century.
