Incredible!
Another amazing musical by Niki Davies! The script is a little challenging however children with a specific drive with be capable to deliver it. The songs within the musical are very catchy and follow a simple structure for everyone to follow. The musical covers a wide variety of curriculum links making it a brilliant opportunity for children to learn whilst having fun! I would highly recommend this musical for teachers who enjoy the 'drama' aspect of musicals. You can really push the children with the musical (Queen Bee is an excellent role). Props, staging and costumes can be made very simple!
Outstanding, Marvelous, Amazing!
