Synopsis

Childrens Musical. Script, score and audio CD. Age range 8 - 12. 9 Original Songs.
The theme of this show is inevitably something that children understand well. The main character, Kim, leads a girl gang. The girls adopt an aggressive, bullying lifestyle until Kim’s own brother becomes entangled in the problems of one of their victims. One of the things learnt from the story is that bullies are often victims themselves; however – with support – this pattern of behaviour can be broken. This exciting musical, with its slick script, nine excellent songs and classy incidental music, offers a very engaging and meaningful dramatic experience for juniors and young teens.
The show is theatrically exciting from the start, with its dramatic opening number in three sections, including some dialogue with music under. This number quickly introduces the main gang characters as a new member is initiated.

From the Publisher

At Starshine Music we believe passionately that the performing arts are an essential part of a rounded education. We are committed to writing and publishing the kind of materials that teachers and pupils can produce with confidence. Our aim is to provide schools, youth theatre groups and choirs with high quality musicals and songs, all of which are written and structured with ease of learning and performance in mind. 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. (examples include - giving, selfishness, bullying, homelessness). Our writers, arrangers and editors are all experienced teachers who understand the pressures in schools today. Every effort is made to ensure that the products are user-friendly, and to help achieve the best possible final product, we always carry out extensive pre-publication trials in a variety of school and other settings.
