Memorable Musical
Treasure Island! - Original score, lyrics and libretto by Stephen Kingsbury.

Treasure Island is a musical with memorable, toe-tapping tunes and individual, well defined characters. From a choreographer's point of view, the rhythms and melodies were easy to work with, and covered a variety of different styles. It is a high energy version of the traditional story, which, I believe, could be used by both schools and adult groups. Obviously different things would be drawn out of the production depending on the age of the participants, but the characters lend themselves to a broad spectrum of ages.

Reflecting on this production, both cast and audience had a great time due to the energy and enthusiasm of all involved. In many respects it was an easy show to stage as the script was accessible (straight forward for children to learn) and gave a clear, non-confusing, linear story line - very important for children. I would thoroughly recommend this production for any school or community group. It has a terrific mixture of comedy and drama and would be well received by any audience!
