Description

Roald Dahl’s Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs is a safe bet for a winning end of term performance. The expandable cast list includes starring parts for twelve players with dozens of opportunities to shine in more roles both off-stage and on. And everyone can be part of the singing chorus. Thousands of children have taken part in school performances of this riotously funny adaptation of Roald Dahl’s irreverent twist on the traditional tale. A recent review in Music Teacher said: ‘It is very difficult to pinpoint an aspect of performance which these musical packages do not address…(These are) completely foolproof musicals, which could be used and adapted by the most inexperienced of directors…undoubtedly an inspired resource’. As with every one of these great Roald Dahl musicals, Snow-White is based on an orchestral commission by the Roald Dahl Foundation. The concert work, from which the schools’ musical is derived is by Eleanor Alberga, and schools can use the extracts provided from the orchestral work to enhance their performances.

  • “Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf”

Description

Roald Dahl’s Little Red Riding Hood is an exciting addition to A&C Black’s Roald Dahl series of musicals for schools. It joins the famously infamous Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs and the very smelly but loveable Jack and the Beanstalk in a glittering line up of wickedly funny productions which children and audiences just love. The plot twists something like this: Mr Wolf thinks he’s a match for Little Red Riding Hood and her three little piggie pals. He snatches a lead on her and gobbles up Grandma – but his hair raising antics will cost him his skin. And it’s sweet Little Red Riding Hood herself who has the ace up her sleeve – or, to be frank – the pistol in her knickers

Description

Roald Dahl’s Goldilocks and the Three Bears, a Roald Dahl musical for schools, joins the famously infamous Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs and the very smelly but loveable Jack and the Beanstalk in a glittering line up of wickedly funny productions which children and audiences just love.

On trial for her crimes, Goldilocks looks like the sweet little innocent who’d give us her last sweetie. Could she really be the brazen crook who stole the porridge from under the snouts of the self-respecting, harmless Bears? The Jury will decide (but who will have the last laugh?). Let the trial commence!

As with every one of these great Roald Dahl musicals, Goldilocks is based on an orchestral commission by the Roald Dahl Foundation. The concert work, from which the schools’ musical is derived is by Kurt Schwertsik, and schools can use the extracts provided from the orchestral work to enhance their performances.
