Every child who would like a leading role or a spoken role should be given the opportunity. We would like to play down the “star” system. In every musical, chorus roles are as significant as the “lead” roles. In every musical the chorus is an important component. The members not only sing as a group, but also do hand and body movements. They are an integral part of every performance.
Micromusicals are short, fun music theatre productions, written for students aged from 5 to 15 years. Each musical is in one act and lasts from as little as 20 minutes to as much as an hour. It’s not necessary to have a stage - many of these musicals have been presented on the floor of an assembly hall or a gym.Â
Micromusicals can be used as a focal point for cross-curricular learning. They cover history, geography, English, mythology and much else besides. A list of curriculum links can be found at the back of each Micromusicals resource book.
