Musical Comedy: 'Act Your Age' by Christopher Wortley

Act Your Age by Christopher Wortley

Principals : 4m, 10f     Support : 5m, 3f & Chorus
A musical farce specially written for amateur musical groups with largely female memberships. A therapy clinic for celebrities, down on its luck with no celebrities and no staff, is forced to take in a bunch of old folks as their Home has become uninhabitable. A mystery celebrity phones to check in, and it's all hands to the pumps to try and convince her and her entourage that the place is well run and managed; when in fact it's the old folk who are gearing up to administer their own bizarre range of alternative therapies.

Free And Easy by Bill Cronshaw

Principals : 5m, 4f (plus a 3-piece band & backing singers) No Chorus
Enjoy a real nostalgia treat with this gently humorous, hugely entertaining, piece of escapism. Set to a backdrop of over fifteen hits of the 50s and 60's, we follow the trials and tribulations of Eric Dobbins, the dryly nonchalant publican, and his matriarchal wife, Iris (a stereotypical landlady), as they, their staff and their regulars fight to save the pub from the unscrupulous hands of the brewery manager who sees it as a potential lap-dancing venue. Requires a small cast and a three-piece band.

The Mikado (Essgee's Australian Version)

EssGee Entertainment's musical theatre adaptation of 'The Mikado' takes the gentle humour of Gilbert's original words and introduces, additional more modern elements to maintain the interest of a contemporary audience.

Musical Comedy: 'The Pirates Of Penzance' (Essgee's Australian Version)

The Pirates Of Penzance (Essgee's Australian version)

Principals : 5m, 5f     Support : 2f (plus Chorus)
To anyone who loves music theatre, 'G&S' means melody, irreverence, wit and fun. Essgee Entertainment has thoroughly updated the Victorian operetta allowing today's theatregoer a fresh look at this classic. All the original songs and tunes are included though and despite the 'pop feel' of many of the chorus numbers the most beautiful solos are untouched. The end product is true to the spirit of Gilbert and Sullivan, but much more accessible for today’s audiences.

It’s a story of unrequited love, honour and sacrifice, recollection and reminiscence, betrayal and forgiveness, all played out against the backdrop of the class being re-united through a tragedy over 20 years later, together with a reunion of another sort entirely.
