Janet Grierson: Gold - The Tale Of King Midas

All year round musical for 7-11 yearsRunning time 60 minutes approx.Telling the tale of Midas, the original 'King of Bling', this entertaining new musical delivers all the glitter, glamour and sparkle you could hope for, with eleven memorable, show-stopping songs, and a fun-packed script. Laugh along as the hapless, greedy king with the golden touch proceeds to squander a very special gift. As an extended cast of characters watch in despair, Midas indulges his 'desire to acquire', but ultimately learns a very important lesson ? some things in life are far more precious than simply being loaded!Plot SummaryTo the opening bars of the first song (Such A Wealthy Man) King Midas regally enters and sits on his elegant throne, ready to be waited on hand and foot. Through the narrator's words and ?catty? jibes of his courtiers, we learn of his immense wealth and obsession with all things gold. His love of the other finer things in life, namely food and clothes, are also made apparent through the demands he places on his royal chefs (Song ? We Cook And We Bake) and seamstresses (Song ? Measuring And Cutting), who pander to his every whim. However, when required by his financial advisors to discuss important issues of government, he dismisses them, preferring to concentrate on counting his own stash of gold coins! (Song ? So Much Money)The Queen and Princess Marigold are desperate for Midas to be the loving, attentive husband and father he used to be (Song ? Day After Day), and his once-loyal subjects grow angry that their king?s obsession with gold has led to his neglecting them too, and their crumbling city. (Song ? Our Beautiful City) As things go from bad to worse a stranger visits Midas, offering to grant him one wish, in the hope that he will use it to become a wiser and more caring ruler. Although advised by his wise men and family to wish for something for the benefit of everyone (Song ? One Wish), Midas famously asks that everything he touches turns to gold! (Song ? Gold)Delighted with his new powers (Song ? The Golden Touch), he proceeds to gleefully turn every object in his palace and gardens into gold ? even his roses, much to the bewilderment of his gardeners! He nevertheless soon realises that it is more of a curse than a blessing, when he unwittingly touches Princess Marigold and she becomes a golden statue! With nobody daring to come near him (Song ? Beware), a lonely, distraught Midas begs forgiveness from the stranger who granted his wish. After a humiliating bathe in magical waters, the King is relieved of his golden touch, and vows to make amends for his greed and foolishness... much to the relief of everyone! (Song ? Turn It Around)

Hera, Aphrodite and Athene are arguing over which of them is the most beautiful, much to the annoyance of the other gods. Paris, a handsome but sly Trojan, is asked to make the tough decision on their behalf. Each goddess offers him a fabulous reward if he chooses in her favour (song - Pick Me, Paris), but it is Aphrodite's promise to give him the most beautiful mortal woman, Helen of Sparta, which clinches it. Furious at this, Hera and Athene vow to bring destruction on Paris' home city of Troy.Paris arrives as a guest at the court of Menelaus, king of Sparta, and immediately falls for his beautiful wife, Helen. Struck with a well aimed arrow from Eros' bow, she in turn falls for Paris (song - Completely Stuck On You) and, in a trance, is whisked back to Troy. The furious king raises an army of Greek heroes (song - Hard As Nails), and led by Achilles they set off to rescue Helen.After a long journey they arrive at Troy, but exhausted they are beaten in battle by the pompous Trojans (song - Bunch Of Losers). Devastated at the killing of his friend Patroclus, Achilles slays the Trojan prince, Hector, after a long chase around the city walls. The vengeful Paris and his father, King Priam, decide to lure Achilles into the city by using Princess Polyxena as a honey trap! It works, and as Achilles excitedly gets ready for a romantic liaison Paris shoots an arrow into his vulnerable heel. The Greeks are overcome with grief at the death of their top man (song - Always And Forever), and revenge is swift. Philoctetes slays Paris in a duel, releasing Helen from her trance-induced love, and with her help secret plans are made for the Greeks' invasion of Troy.The Trojans are curious as to what the hammering sounds are in the Greeks' camp (song - Chop-Chop, Brother), and surprised to see their enemy's fleet of ships sailing away from the shores of Troy. On discovering a huge wooden horse which is left, they believe, as a gift from their fleeing foes, they rejoice in their supposed victory and bring it into the city. As night falls, the heroes emerge from the belly of the horse and massacre the entire Trojan population in its sleep! Finally victorious (song - Job Done) they return with Helen to Greece, finishing the tale with a resounding reprise of the song Troy Story.

However, the young man quickly discovers that this is no ordinary cat ? it can talk! Puss also claims he can make the farmer's son wealthy, if his instructions are followed to the letter. Having asked for some clothes and a swanky pair of boots (song ? Puss In Boots), Puss leaves the baffled man and sets about doing as he's promised.Firstly, he catches a pair of rabbits (song ?

(song - Go To London) Down on his luck, young Dick Whittington decides to head for the city, to see if the streets really are paved with gold. However, no sooner has he arrived in London than he realises it's not quite the place of opportunity he thought it would be. (song - This Is London) Exhausted from his journey, he takes a nap on the doorstep of respectable looking house, the owner of which, Mr Fitzwarren, takes pity on Dick and offers him a roof over his head. In exchange for this Dick must work in the house under the comical but mean-spirited cook, butler and maid, who make it their mission to drive Dick to despair. (song - A Recipe For Disaster).To add to his woes, Dick's attic bedroom is overrun each night with rats and mice. (song - Your Furry Friends) This leaves him tired and vulnerable to the domestic staff's bullying. However, he finds a friend in Alice, Mr Fitzwarren's daughter, who promises to keep his tormentors at bay, and advises him that getting a cat might help control his pestilent night visitors. He takes her advice, and with his meagre earnings he buys Puss, a flea-bitten old moggy! They are soon best friends, (song - One Purr-fect Match) and life becomes happier.One day Mr Fitzwarren gathers his household together.

Andrew Oxspring: Santa's On Strike

Christmas musical for 7-11 years. Running time 60 minutes approx.It's Christmas Eve and Santa's in a mood! He's seen too many episodes of Supernanny and thinks children don't deserve presents any more, so he goes on strike! As Mrs. Santa and the elves show him snapshots of family life, will he realise that Christmas is still a time of giving, caring and sharing? You bet he will, and so will your audience in this celebration of all that is good about Christmas... and about children! Plot SummaryIt's Christmas Eve at the North Pole, and frantic preparations are under way to get Santa ready for his annual 'evening out' (song - 'Ready For Christmas Day'). However, all is not as it should be. We hear from the elves, Eric, Elsie, Edgar, Edna, Esmée and Elmer, that Santa has gone on strike! Mrs Santa thinks this may be a passing problem due to his age, but Santa claims he has good reason for refusing to deliver presents to the children of the world. He has been watching 'Supernanny' and 'House of Tiny Tearaways' on TV and can't believe the behaviour he has witnessed (song - 'Santa's On Strike'). He thinks children no longer deserve a visit from him on Christmas Eve, and he won't be convinced otherwise.Desperate to save Christmas the Elves, Mrs Santa and Rudolf plead with him to change his mind, but Santa digs his heels in! Then the elves hit on a plan which might convince him that Children are not like those he's seen on TV, but that they can be really kind and giving, caring and sharing. Using the World-Wide-View-Satellite-Plasma-Screen-and-handset they tune in to the Wiseman family who are preparing for Christmas. They, and the audience, witness the comically frantic time families can have leading up to the big day, and see the children more than doing their bit to ease the pressure. (song - 'Pitching In, helping Out')Next we tune into the Shepherd family. Despite being settled into a Christmas Eve game of cards (which Dad is a little too eager to win!) the children are keen to make sure all the animals - pets, birds and even Santa's reindeer - are comfortable, catered-for and well looked-after. (song - 'Puppies Are Not Just For Christmas')The Elves then show Santa the King family. We see how the children are happy to sacrifice a cosy Christmas Eve watching DVDs in order to join others, outside in the cold, carol singing to raise money for the old folks' home. They also enjoy dragging their protesting parents outside for a sing-along too! (song - 'Lots of Fa-la-la')In a short optional scene Santa is shown that children haven't forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. We tune in to a nativity tableau, where, dressed as the traditional characters, a group of children perform a traditional Christmas song.If all this hasn't yet softened Santa's heart, then the final visit to the Starr family is bound to make him see that children can embrace the true spirit of Christmas. The Starr children feel sorry for their old neighbour, Mr Lewis, and take him round some Christmas cake (and a bottle of Dad's wine!), with the intention of keeping him company for a short while. Moved by his loneliness they go the whole hog and invite him to their house for Christmas! (song - 'Give A Little Time')Quite predictably this does the trick, and as Santa sobs into his beard he instructs the elves to load up the sleigh. In a rousing finale he adm
