Shows for Young Performers

Origin Music represents a range of great musical for young casts including Pinkalicious The Musical and Rugrats, A Live Adventure.
In the short one act musical, Pinkalicious, the title character loves pink and wants everything in her life to be pink. After over indulging in pink cupcakes, she wakes up pink. Pinkalicious is eventually transformed back to normal. She has learned self-control and to be careful what you wish for. Her brother, on the other hand, has eaten the last cupcake, turns pink, and shouts with glee: Pink-A-Boo!
Pinkalicious has an accompaniment CD and ptional piano-vocal score.
One hour long with optional intermission, Rugrats, A Live Adventure, is a "Kids for Kids" musical. Rugrats is based on Nickelodeon's classic hit animated series about life from a baby's point of view. In Nickelodeon's live theatrical production, the Rugrats, in their usual offbeat fashion, turn a typical rainy afternoon into an adventure of the imagination.
An accompaniment CD (including all sound effects) and piano/vocal book are included. Cast: Minimum 12 actors with doubling.

Vocal duties are evenly shared amongst the cast, which gives everyone a chance to shine. Of especial interest is that two of the lead male roles are switchable to female making the show much easier to cast. The show is fully scored and a professional backing CD is also included with the license. School royalties are very affordable at $550 complete for unlimited performances. Sets and costumes are easy to source and overall the show represents a fantastic opportunity for Australian schools to showcase a locally written musical.
