AGES 11+

• Rehearse 10am-4pm

• Relaxed performance at 4:15-5pm

We are so excited to share a little more about our performance and what to expect.

This will be a relaxed performance, designed to create a warm, supportive and low-pressure environment for all of our students, especially those who may be new to performing and WestWay.

To help everyone feel comfortable:

• The house lights will remain on, so the space feels familiar and not too dark

• The stage lighting will be a gentle wash, rather than bright theatrical lights

• Our team will be on stage with the children to guide and support them throughout

• The children may sit on stage while watching other groups perform

As this is a 3-day holiday school, we keep the performance setting relaxed so that all children—both new and experienced—can enjoy being on stage without added pressure, especially with limited rehearsal time.

Our priority is that every child feels safe, happy and proud of themselves.

If your child would like to experience a more traditional and full theatrical performance, we would love to welcome you to our weekly classes or our full-week holiday schools in the summer, where we create a full musical in just one week. Having more time allows us to gently build confidence and help children become fully comfortable on stage in a supportive way.

Thank you for being part of this holiday experience. We can’t wait to see our Superstars shine!

The Merry Old Land of Oz – Wizard of Oz

Ha ha ha
Ho ho ho
And a couple of tra la las
That's how we laugh the day away
In the merry old land of Oz

Buzz, buzz, buzz
Chirp, chirp, chirp
And a couple of La di das
That's how the crickets crick all day
In the merry old land of Oz

We get up at twelve and start to work at one
Take an hour for lunch and then at two we're done
Jolly good fun

Ha ha ha
Ho ho ho
And a couple of tra la las
That's how we laugh the day away
In the merry old land of Oz

Ha ha ha
Ho ho ho
That's how we laugh the day away
With a ha ha ha ho ho ho
In the merry old land of Oz

 (Instrumental)

Ha ha ha
Ho ho ho
And a couple of tra la las

That's how we laugh the day away
In the merry old land of oz.

Pat, pat here
Pat, pat there
And a couple of brand new straws

That's how we keep you young and fair
In the merry old land of Oz

We can make a dimple smile out of a frown
Can you even dye my eyes to match my gown? Uh-huh
Jolly old town

Clip, clip here
Clip, clip there
We give the roughest claws
That certain air of savoir faire
In the merry old land of Oz

 Rub, rub here
Rub, rub there
Whether you're tin or brass

That's how we keep you in repair
In the merry old land of Oz

We get up at twelve and start to work at one

Take an hour for lunch and then at two we're done
Jolly good fun

 Ha ha ha
Ho ho ho
Ho ho ho ho ho
That's how we laugh the day away
With a merry old land of oz

That's how we laugh the day away
With a merry old land of oz

In the merry old land, merry old land, merry old, merry old, merry old, merry old land of Oz

Olaf: Hi everyone. I'm Olaf. And I like warm hugs. [Olaf faces Anna and opens his arms]

Anna: Olaf? [Anna suddenly realizes he's the snowman from her and Elsa's childhood] That's right, Olaf.

Olaf: And you are?

Anna: Oh, um...I'm Anna. [turning to Kristoff and Sven]

Olaf: And who's the funky-looking donkey over there?

Anna: That's Sven.

Olaf: Uh-huh. And who's the reindeer?

Anna: Sven. [looking and Kristoff and Sven]

Olaf: Oh! They're...oh, okay. Makes things easier for me. [suddenly Sven tries to bite off Olaf's nose but Olaf jumps back] Ha! Aw, look at him trying to kiss my nose. [to Sven] I like you, too!

Anna: Olaf, did Elsa build you?

Olaf: Yeah. Why? [

Kristoff takes one of Olaf's stick arms off, looking at it in curiosity]

Kristoff: Fascinating.

Anna: Do you know where she is?

Olaf: Yeah. Why?

Anna: Do you think you could show us the way?

Olaf: Yeah. Why?

[Kristoff bends Olaf's arm]

Kristoff: How does this work? [suddenly Olaf's dismembered arm slaps Kristoff across the face] Ow! [Olaf grabs his arm back from Kristoff]

Olaf: Stop it, Sven. Trying to focus here. [he puts his arm back in place and turns back to Anna] Yeah, Why?

Kristoff: I'll tell you why. We need Elsa to bring back summer.

Villager 1: Think it's in there? 

Villager 2: All right. Let's get it! 

Villager 1: Whoa. Hold on. Do you know what that thing can do to you? 

Villager 3: Yeah, it'll grind your bones for its bread. 

Shrek chuckles, revealing himself to be standing behind the mob. 

SHREK: Yes, well, actually, that would be a giant. 

The mob gasp. 

SHREK: Now, ogres, oh they're much worse. They'll make a suit from your freshly peeled skin... 

Villagers: No! 

SHREK: They'll shave your liver. Squeeze the jelly from your eyes! Actually, it's quite good on toast. 

Villager 1: Back! Back, beast! Back! I warn ya! 

The villager waves his torch in Shrek's face. Shrek casually licks his fingers and pinches the flame, extinguishing the torch. The villager drops it. 

Villager 1: Right... 

SHREK: ROOOOOAAAAAR (Whispering) This is the part where you run away. 

SHREK: And stay out!

Farquaad  s GUARDS pull out torture devices  a rolling pin, a giant spatula, an egg-beater, a carton of milk, etc...)

FARQUAAD

He heard it from the Muffin Man...

GINGY

FARQUAAD

GINGY

FARQUAAD

(FARQUAAD reaches for GINGY s buttons.)

GINGY

No! Not the buttons! Not my gumdrop buttons

LION KING: SIMBA & SCAR SCRIPT

YOUNG SIMBA

Hey, Uncle Scar! Guess what? I'm gonna be king of Pride Rock!

SCAR

Oh, goodie. Well, forgive me for not leaping for joy. Bad back, you know.

YOUNG SIMBA

My dad just showed me the whole kingdom! And I'm gonna rule it all!

SCAR

(scheming)

Really? He didn't show you what's beyond that rise at the northern border, did he?

YOUNG SIMBA

Well, no. He said I can't go there.

SCAR

And he's absolutely right! It's far too dangerous. Only the bravest of lions go there.

YOUNG SIMBA

Well, I'm brave. What's out there?

SCAR

I'm sorry, Simba... I just can't tell you.

YOUNG SIMBA

Why not?

SCAR

An elephant graveyard is no place for a young prince.

YOUNG SIMBA

An elephant what?

SCAR

Oops.

YOUNG SIMBA

Whoa!

SCAR

Oh dear, I've said too much. Well, I suppose you'd have found out sooner or later - you being so clever and all. Just promise me you'll never visit that dreadful place.

YOUNG SIMBA

No problem, Uncle Scar.

SCAR

There's a good lad. You run along now and have fun. And remember: It's our little secret.
