Daisy May, the impossibly cool cat
A mini-musical for Tiny-Tots
Daisy May is an incredibly cool, fat cat that can sing jazz, dance and play tunes on her whiskers. Her best friend is Freddy the flea who lives behind her ear and plays the trumpet.
One day Daisy May decides to try her hand at some other jobs so tries her paw at being a jockey, a chef and a ballet dancer all with little success. While performing nutcracker she falls off the stage and crushes the piano but saves the performance by playing fabulous music with her friend the flea.
Daisy May is a wonderful interactive theatre piece that will soon be available as a work for Children's Choir with narrator.
Now available on CD.
The Flugleflusted Flingleflanglebert
A mini-musical for Tiny-Tots
The Flugleflusted Flingleflanglebert is a sad plant that comes to live in the musical garden of our gardener.
In her attempts to cheer him up she grows him a new head (so he has someone to talk to), some arms and legs (so he can dance to all the music), makes him pretty (so he fits in to the garden) and finally catches him a tune and teaches him to sing.
The audience will see all the instruments of the orchestra playing alone and in their orchestral sections while they learn about rhythm and melody. The story-line lets their imaginations run free in this magical garden with it's zany characters.
The smaller version of the show (performed by X-Collective) is fully costumed with sets, props and pictures for the children to take away and colour in.

Joey's Journey
A Joey Kangaroo finds a violin but can't practice in his mother's pouch as there is no room. His journey begins as he tries many different venues, such as in Wally the Wombat's log (too much echo!), up Berty the Butcher bird's tree (sways too much!) and even on Eddy the Emu's back (too much running around!) When he is just about to give up, a great storm bears down on them and it is only his music that saves all his bush friends.
