Read A Girl MissRed (Schools Edition) - Why we loved this as a show for our school.
A Girl MissRed is eminently approachable for secondary school casts. The variety of lead roles across the age-range, as well as plenty of chorus role potential, make it very effective as a combined Secondary Lower & Upper school production.
The songs are catchy and memorable, with attainable, impactful harmonies & the variety of song choices to suit the abilities of your own cast is unique. Backing tracks for each number, provide invaluable supports for cast outside of rehearsals, whilst the live band arrangements are well arranged for a small group of pros/advanced pupil musicians.
The storyline is appropriate, with an underlying thread of good core values and their importance, that will align with any school ethos/mission strapline. There isn’t that ‘one dodgy love/fight scene’ with content that you dread staging or showing your SLT/the parents, that exist in many contemporary Musicals. The key topics of adoption & neurodiversity provide good discussion points for a young school cast and the creative team have gone to pains to accurately historically depict the time period in the music, plot & dialogue and choreography.
