	A Christmas Carol Principals : 6m, 3f, 1m/f, 1 child male Support : Large (Adult/Youth Chorus/Cameos) A relatively easy to stage, musical version of the Dickens classic tale. Some interesting principal roles and lots of chorus work combine to make this an ideal choice for groups that produce a Christmas fund-raiser in between their main shows, or maybe taking the place of a panto as an alternative piece of traditional Christmas theatre.
	Country Love Principals : 1m, 1f Support : Country Band & Backing Singers The typical dialogue that occurs after the breakdown of a marriage, only it takes place in song and words. Vern sings his story in a cheap Country music karaoke bar while Tammy Lea, a famous Country singer records a 'behind the music' TV programme. Unusual and emotional.
	Cruisin' Principals : 5m, 4f Support : 3m, 5f (plus myriad cameo parts & large chorus) Cruisin’ is an exciting new musical filled with comedy, pathos and catchy musical numbers with songs in the style and spirit of the pioneers of rock n roll. It tells a vibrant, energetic and engaging musical story that follows Vinnie Russo, a young Italian kid as he struggles to escape from his Papa's expectations, to take his place in the modern 1950's world of motorbikes, rock and roll - and girls!
	Do Or Die Principals : 5m, 4f Support : 5m, 5f (plus chorus) From the same creative team that brought you 'Eurobeat' – this cool new musical 'Do Or Die' was written by Craig Christie with music composed and arranged by Andrew Patterson. It's a musical about the three-way struggle for supremacy in a secondary school – the hockey loving girls vs the football mad boys vs the overworked staff! The musical style combines '70s funk with current pop trends in a soundtrack that is attention grabbing and totally contemporary.
	Gulliver's Travels Principals : 9m, 7f, 1m/f Support : 10m, 4f, 3jr-m, 1jr-f plus chorus NOTE : All Principal and Support roles can be doubled except for Gulliver, Mary and Don Pedro. A colourful, fun and inventive adaptation of Swift's novel bringing out the deeper side of Gulliver's character set to stunning music. The Lilliputians (tiny people) and the Brobdingnadians (huge people) are well known to most, but the musical also covers two not so well known parts of the original book : the lands of Laputa (the flying island) and Houyhnhnm (the land of intelligent horses). Whilst this musical is enjoyable in its spectacle to children, it is most definitely a musical for all ages.
	Hooked Principals : 2m, 2f Support : 2f This hard-hitting story is about a man going off the rails at the mercy of a mass of addictions. Ben is hooked on alcohol, cocaine and sex and it turns his world upside down. Under pressure to be successful from his wife, Emma, Ben throws himself into his work. Working late in media-land he gets drawn into an intoxicating world of thrill-seeking. Stoked up on success, coke, champagne, hookers and hangers-on, he starts to think he's invincible and steadily loses touch with his own identity. In the process, he ruins a business and the lives of the two very different women that have fallen for him.
	Lillia Nominated : 'Best Music' and 'Best New Musical', Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2011 Principals : 3m, 4f Support : 2m, 1f, 1m/f Lillia is an innovative new musical with a dark centre that explores the depths of a rare psychological disorder, its affect on its victim and the impact it has on ordinary lives. It considers the human mind as both a person’s best friend and their worst enemy while constantly blurring the line between fantasy and reality. With its inspired writing and achingly beautiful music, Lillia provides a surprisingly accurate and heartfelt representation of multiple personality disorder that leaves you wondering to what extent you can trust your own mind.
	Much Ado Principals : 5m, 3f Support : 9m, 1f, 1m/f plus chorus This new musical based on one of Shakespeare's popular plays combines a mixture of comedy, romance and near-tragedy with the feisty characters of Beatrice and Benedick at its core as they exchange abuse and swear they will never marry anyone. Coupled with a variety of other characters and situations that call for a variety of musical moods and expressions this beautiful musical keeps more or less to the original structure of the play whilst retaining as much of the original prose as possible.
	Nosferatu Principals : 4m, 2f; Support : 5m, 8f, 5m/f (plus Chorus) A sung-through rock opera inspired by the classic black and white silent movie of the same name - the first movie ever made of the Dracula story. The musical is dark, brooding, passionate, eerie and fascinating, yet contains some inspired dialogue and lyrics. While following the general storyline and feel of that movie, the vampire in this adaptation is a much more tragic figure than the creature generally portrayed in the countless Dracula films and other cinematic portrayals of vampires that followed.
	Paris (COMING SOON) Principals : 9m, 3f; Support : 7m, 1f, 1m/f (plus Chorus) ~~ Coming Soon ~~ Paris is based on an ancient Greek myth : the story of Helen of Troy. It was first produced as a CD/double cassette concept album in 1990, and quickly become the most popular original Australian music theatre recording ever. It is an epic musical with fantastic music and wonderful chorus opportunities. The story is a compilation of Homer's Iliad, Virgil's Aeniad, and various other classics, but essentially it is a love story about the original 'star crossed lovers' : Paris and Helen.
	Pride and Prejudice Principals : 5m, 10f Support : 3m, 5f (plus chorus) The story told in Pride And Prejudice of the Bennett family, centred as it is on the relationship between the proud aristocrat Fitzwilliam Darcy and the high-spirited Elizabeth Bennett, is one of the most enduringly popular novels of all time and has had a far-reaching influence on all romantic fiction right up to the present day. This musical disappoints neither Austen fans nor theatre audiences.
	Princess Diana, the musical Principals : 2m, 2 jnr-m, 6f Support : 6m, 7f, 5m/f (plus cameos & chorus) 'Princess Diana, the musical' tells the story of Charles and Diana; focussing on their courtship, their marriage and her relationship with her children and the rest of the Royal Family. The musical culminates with her divorce, but ends at the time of her funeral. As the musical progresses it portrays the evolution of the young Diana into the intelligent, mature woman who, becomes arguably the most famous, (certainly one of the most famous), women in the world.
	Quasimodo Principals : 3m, 2f Support : 2m, 1f, 1m/f plus chorus Quasimodo is an exciting and dramatic musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s tragic tale of the unfortunate hunchback and his unrequited love for the beautiful gypsy girl Esmeralda. Set amidst the fear, poverty and superstition of 15th century France this show has an epic quality that is hugely satisfying for principals, chorus and audience alike.
	Rush Principals : 4m, 3f Support : 5m (with 1m, 1f, 3m/f children, 6yrs to 10yrs and Chorus) This powerful, professional musical tells the moving story of immigrant gold diggers and their quest for instant fortune. With a strong storyline and a modern score, it demands the resources of a professional, semi-pro or large amateur group to be successful. Three previous professional productions in the equivalent of the West End in New Zealand.
	The White Rose Principals : 5m, 4f Support : 6m, 5f, 3m/f (plus chorus) 'The White Rose' is based on the true story of a group of students at Munich University in 1942 who formed a resistance movement to Hitler's regime. It traces the story of Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans, and his friends as they despair of the increasingly totalitarian lives being forced onto the German nation. 'The White Rose' is a musical production both intimate and epic in its portrayal of the story and characters involved, and, though drawn from the pages of history, it is as relevant today as it was when it originally unfolded during the dark days of war.
	Threads Principals : 5m, 3f Support : 5m, 1f (plus chorus) A story of the Industrial Revolution, brimming with tragedy, humor and passion. Hardship and hard work were commonplace at the beginning of the 19th Century, but in their attempts to bring improved working and living conditions, the characters living in Oldham in this musical epitomise the wider struggle that was prevalent in the large industrial towns of England. 'Threads' has a strong storyline, some challenging character roles and plenty of chorus work.
	Witchfinder Winner : Best Book & Lyrics, GMDF Festival 2009 (together with four other prizes) Principals : 5m, 3f adult, 1f junior Support : 8m, 2f, 1 m/f (plus Chorus) In 1612 Lancashire, James and Catherine both from different classes, backgrounds and worlds find themselves in a melting pot of politics and suspicion. In newly protestant London, the King, his court and his henchman (the Witchfinder), each with a different vested interest, take up against the innocent Catholic residents of Pendle who they suspect are witches. A powerful story with dominant characters and soaring themes, the musical traces the heart-rending events and their consequences, painting a picture that encompasses life and of loss, but equally tells of love and of hope.
	Wuthering Heights Principals : 3m, 4f adult, 1f junior Support : 3m, 1f, 2jnr-m, 1jnr-f (plus chorus) The haunting image of Heathcliffe searching the moors for the ghost of his beloved Cathy is surely one of the enduringly passionate scenes in English literature. This adaptation has been recognised by the Brontë Society as marking the first time that the true spirit of this masterpiece has been captured in music. Heathcliffe enters the House On The Hill, and the wild boy falls for Cathy, but attracts nothing but hatred from Hindley, her brother.
