National Press Review:
REVIEW OF OUR MOST POPULAR PLAY :Joseph!
Joseph’s Coat of Many Colours is a musical play for Key Stage 2 and 3
pupils. It is a wonderfully refreshing children’s version of the classic tale and musical – Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. The pupil friendly script and music should become a well-used and well-loved version of this popular story. From the excellent melodic and catchy songs, to the well balanced and easily readable script, this 55 minute production enthused and encouraged children to present a high-quality piece of theatre to parents and the wider community. For a modest cost, the package is available (via download) for up to three performances in a school or club setting.
Pupils in Year 5 learnt and performed the show during the spring term and performances were well-received by both child and adult audiences. Such is the simplicity of the script, a mixed ability class can be, and were, allocated the roles and learnt all the songs. The number of character parts is perfect for a class production and there is some variation on this.
The play could also be performed by a drama group or even all Key Stage 2 classes who could contribute to different parts of the play. The product could justifiably represent aspects of both the literacy and music schemes of work in school.
The product is easy to download via a broadband connection (the music is also available on a mail order CD-ROM at a small additional cost.)
The script and sheet music can be printed off and / or saved on a PC. I would highly recommend the whole package to schools who are looking at putting on a musical performance.
No musical expertise is needed to organise and direct the performance, though you may wish to involve a pianist and other staff to help with rehearsals, costumes, scenery, etc. The songs were simple and easy to learn and provided a smooth link with the script and stage action. Simple dances were performed, at times dictated by the script and some extra action was added. This package
has proved to be a wonderful experience for pupils, which they will remember for a long time.

The play is based on a famous story from China. It is thousands of years old and yet it is still told today to celebrate Chinese New Year. (It is also suitable for any time of year.)
Long ago in Ancient China, the new year was fast approaching. Twelve animals were arguing. There was a dog, a pig, a rat, an ox, a tiger, a hare, a snake, a horse, a ram, a monkey and a cockerel. They thought the New Year should have a name. They were arguing because each animal wanted the year to be named after himself. And so, the Gods decreed they should have a race…

This is a simple, lively 35 minute children’s musical based loosely on the traditional story of Rapunzel. A witch (and her sisters) trick a couple into parting with their baby.
The sad couple leave the land, baby Rapunzel grows into a lovely girl with long hair. Jealous of Rapunzel’s beauty, the witches lock her out of sight in a tower. Rapunzel escapes to play with the animals in the garden, but they catch her. As a punishment, they cut off her hair and put a spell on the tower so that there are no doors and no stairs. The cut hair is woven into a rope. Each day, the witch climbs up the rope to bully the miserable lonely girl. One day, a prince is passing, and hears Rapunzel singing. Infatuated, he climbs the rope but falls into a bed of thorns and becomes blind and loses his memory. Some time later, as a beggar, he chances to meet Rapunzel once again. Her tears fall into his eyes and his blindness is cured. This is the beginning of a happy ending!
