Rachel Winter Steve Brannam SPECIAL THANKS We would like to extend a special thanks to the following people for their help in making this show happen: Front of house manager: Helen Wood ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Lyrics by Tim Rice. Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber SHOW SYNOPSIS The play opens with the Narrator finding an old book, picking it up, blowing off the dust, and starting to read. The story she relates is of a young dreamer, a man named Joseph—the same Joseph whose story is told in the Book of Genesis. Joseph was born into a family of twelve boys, all the sons of Jacob. Joseph is Jacob’s favorite son, and, to show everyone that he is pleased with him, Jacob gives Joseph a splendid multi-colored coat. However, this coat, along with Joseph’s talk of dreams he has had showing he will be the ruler of his brothers, arouse the jealousy of the other eleven. They decide to kill him, but before they get the chance, they meet up with the group of Ishmaelites traveling to Egypt. A plan is hatched, and they sell their brother as a slave instead. So Joseph is taken off to Egypt, and his brothers return to tell their father that his favorite son is dead, producing his wonderful coat — which they have stained with the blood of a goat — as proof. Potiphar, a powerful man in Egypt, takes Joseph into his household as a slave. While there Joseph works so hard and is so honest, that Potiphar begins to admire him greatly. Unfortunately, he also catches the eye of his master’s wife, who tries to seduce him. When Potiphar catches them together, he assumes the worst (even though Joseph is innocent) and sends Joseph to prison. While there Joseph meets two of Pharaoh’s servants, a butler and a baker, both of whom have had strange dreams. Joseph interprets their dreams, correctly telling their future. In the meantime, Pharaoh, the most powerful man in Egypt, has also been having unusual dreams. No one can interpret these dreams, so Pharaoh is intrigued when he hears of the young slave’s ability. He immediately has Joseph brought before him to interpret his dreams. Joseph offers his interpretation, that seven years of bounty will be followed by seven years of famine, and Pharaoh is so impressed that he appoints Joseph to a post in the government. He will be in charge of storing food for the upcoming hard times. When the famine does hit, Joseph’s father and brothers in Canaan are ill-prepared. They hear that there is food available in Egypt, so the brothers travel there to beg for assistance. Once there, they are brought before Joseph who recognizes them immediately even though they do not know him. He tests their honesty and humility by planting a golden chalice in the sack of his brother, Benjamin, to see what they will say. When confronted with the supposed evidence of theft, the brothers maintain the boy’s innocence and offer to let themselves be taken prisoner instead. Joseph sees that his brothers have changed, so, to everyone’s great joy, he reveals his true identity. Finally, Jacob is brought to Egypt to join his family and to again see his beloved son at last. |

Most people will know how a gang tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament, and how Guy Fawkes was caught. Following days of ghastly interrogation the gang were all rounded up and executed. Actually, the plot was far more sinister than that and makes for a thrilling whodunnit involving spies, sabotage and someone being walled up alive! The show is set in Catesby’s Cabaret Club with the outrageous hostess Miss Catherine Wheel. Even if the club didn’t exist, everything in it did actually happen right up to the explosive finale! |

The cat clan has gathered for the annual event at which the revered elder Old Deuteronomy chooses the most deserving cat to ascend with him for a heavenly reward. The cats have gathered, and one by one, we learn about their personalities, exactly as T. S. Eliot portrayed them in his book of poems. Jennyanydots, Cassandra, Bombalurina, and Jellylorum are the first to strut their stuff. They welcome Rum Turn Tugger, a rock-star-idol type of cat, creating just the right mood for the arrival of Grizabella, the Glamour Cat. She is an aging beauty who has roamed some of the lowest alleys. The younger felines mock and avoid her. Bustopher Jones, mature and well-rounded, catches everyone’s eye with his natty clothes and well-groomed look. Mungojerrie and Rumple teazer, two mischievous, fun-loving cats, provide a light moment before Old Deuteronomy arrives and sets a more serious tone for the ball. Barred from the festivities, Grizabella reflects on her memory of happier times and the new life that could be ahead. Also on the sidelines, Gus the Theatre Cat finds fault with the lack of dedication he perceives in today’s actors and reminisces about some of his finest roles. In Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat, we find great pride and commitment in doing the rela tively small job of keeping a single train on schedule. Macavity, the “fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity,” is talked about in hushed voices. “Was there ever a cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees?” Yes, and much to the delight of all he bursts upon the scene. Still it is Grizabella that demonstrates the greatest depth of character and need. She is chosen to accompany Old Deuteronomy on this year’s accension “up, up, up, past the Russell Hotel. Up, up, up to the Heaviside layer.” Before their departure Old Deuteronomy summarizes Eliot’s lifelong passion for paralleling catlike names and attributes to people he had observed: “You’ve heard of several kinds of cat, And my opinion now is that You should need no interpreter To understand our character. You’ve learned enough to take the view That cats are very much like you.” |

Trying to impress her with his bravado, he breaks into a building site overlooking his home on Casey Street. The police turn up, at which point Joe’s life splits into two: Good Joe gives himself up; Bad Joe flees the scene. Good Joe is sent to a correctional facility for 2 years. On his release, he finds his criminal record prevents him from getting a good job and he struggles to make ends meet. He convinces himself he is an embarrassment to his family, friends and neighbours, but especially to Sarah. Sarah is now at university studying law, with a different lifestyle and a new boyfriend called Callum. In an effort to keep up with his love rival, Joe is enticed by his old school friend, Reecey, into staging a break-in for easy money. Joe is caught, and sent to prison again. Bad Joe has lost Sarah but is making a successful career in security systems; however, he is also passing information on how to breach those systems to his lowlife ‘mate’ Reecey. His efforts soon earn him enough money to start his own property development business and he swans back into Sarah’s life, sweeping her off her feet at the University Ball. Joe’s success also attracts the attention of Mr Pressman, a businessman whose building site Joe broke into on his 16th birthday. Joe and Sarah get married in Las Vegas. Three years later, Good Joe is now sleeping rough. At this point, both Good and Bad Joes’ lives start to collide. Mr Pressman decides to redevelop Camden by demolishing Casey Street, but Joe’s mum Kath refuses to leave. Good Joe decides to save the house. He calls on Sarah, now a trainee lawyer and engaged to Callum, to help him prove that Kath does indeed own 25 Casey Street. Bad Joe is employed by Mr Pressman to destroy the street by using strong tactics to frighten Kath and get her to move out. He arranges for Reecey to burn the house down whilst she is out celebrating her birthday. However, Kath does not go out – she waits inside for her son, Joe – and dies tragically in the fire. Good Joe, having found the deeds, rushes to the house and saves Kath from the fire – Bad Joe returns too late and discovers that his mum was waiting inside for him.

CAST TRACY TURNBLAD – Emily Marshall DYNAMITES: COUNCIL KIDS SEAWEED’S GANG DANCERS/SINGERS SHOW SYNOPSIS It’s early June, 1962, in blue-collar Baltimore. Surrounded by “45s” and teen magazines, Tracy Turnblad wakes up in her family’s apartment over the Har-De-Har Hut, her father, Wilbur’s jokeshop (GOOD MORNING BALTIMORE). Teenager Tracy is a large girl with a high hairdo, abundant joie de vivre and rhythm in every inch of her body. Her obsession is the Corny Collins TV show on WZZ1, the after-school dance program that has made stars out of THE NICEST KIDS IN TOWN. Everyday, Tracy and her shy best friend, Penny, rush to Tracy’s house right after school to learn the latest dances and moon over Link Larkin, the show’s resident dreamboat. Tracy’s mother, Edna, a hardworking woman of vast proportions and enormous heart, takes in laundry to make ends meet. Penny’s mother, Prudy Pingleton, disapproves of the “coloured” music, but to Edna, it’s just good old black-and-white TV. On the Corny Collins Show, the reigning queen is the oh-so-perfect Amber Von Tussle, whose overbearing mother, Velma, happens to be producing the show. They are all excited about a coming nationwide prime-time event, Corny Collins Spectacular: Live from the Eventorium, sponsored by Ultra Clutch Hairspray. The girl on the show who gets the highest popularity rating will be crowned Miss Teenage Hairspray, and Amber wants that crown almost as much as Velma wants it for her. The daily show is segregated except for once a month, when Motormouth Maybelle co-hosts “Negro Day.” Velma complains that Corny spinning so much “race” music will lose them their sponsor, while Link asks Amber to go steady and gives her his Corny Collins Council ring. One of the girls on the show will be dropping out for a suspicious nine months, and auditions are announced for a replacement. Tracy and Penny are dying to go. Edna, Prudy and Velma each try to control their daughters, but the girls rebel (MAMA, I’M A BIG GIRL NOW). Tracy and Penny are late for the audition, due to a “stupid bus crash”, but when Link bumps into Tracy, she hears a symphony (I CAN HEAR THE BELLS). The girls on the Council, led by Amber, pick Tracy apart, and Velma won’t even let her dance (THE LEGEND OF MISS BALTIMORE CRABS). Back in school and in detention again for outlandish hair-do, Tracy meets all the cool black kids in school, especially Seaweed, who teaches Tracy some fabulous moves that she uses at the Sophomore hop. DJ Corny Collins singles her out, and so does Link. All they had to do was see her dance. Next time we see her, she’s on the show. Over Amber’s objections, Link sings Tracy a love-song on the air on which Tracy brazenly joins in and they end it with a kiss (IT TAKES TWO). Not only does Tracy eclipse Amber, she also suggests that every day be “Negro Day” right on the air, much to Velma’s fury. Tracy gets home to Edna, and the offers are pouring in. Mr. Pinky from The Hefty Hideaway wants her for his spokesgirl and “fashion effigy.” Tracy wants Edna as her agent, but Edna is reluctant to leave the house. Tracy insists she get with the decade. Thanks to Mr. Pinky, the Turnblads are transformed from frumps to fashion-icons, extra-large deluxe (WELCOME TO THE ’60s). At school, Tracy is attacked by Amber in a game of dodgeball but Penny, Link and Seaweed come to her aid. Seaweed invites them all to a platter party at the record shop run by his mother, Motormouth Maybelle, in the black section of town. Tracy thinks that’s so cool, but Seaweed says not everyone sees it that way. At Motormouth Maybelle’s shop, Seaweed is joined by his sister, Li’l Inez (RUN AND TELL THAT!). Black kids and white kids are all dancing together when one by one, Amber, Velma, Edna and Wilbur arrive. Amber and Velma try to make Link leave with them, but he stays and they go. Tracy schemes with Maybelle to integrate the show, starting tomorrow on Mother-Daughter Day. Maybelle will bring Li’l Inez, with Tracy and Edna blocking the door behind them. Link chickens out, afraid that controversy will cost him his big break on the nationwide special, and he leaves. Tracy is heartbroken, but unwilling to back down. Edna feels she could never appear on camera at her current weight, but Maybelle insists that, like her, Edna is BIG, BLONDE AND BEAUTIFUL. Edna agrees, but as they reach the studio, their civil rights demonstration turns into a full-scale riot, and both protesters and protestees are loaded into a police paddy wagon. Almost every woman in town is in jail, waiting to be sprung from THE BIG DOLLHOUSE. After Velma and Amber are pardoned, Wilbur posts bail for everyone else by mortgaging the Har-De-Har Hut. However, thanks to some legal shenanigans by the Von Tussles to keep her out of the Miss Teenage Hairspray contest, Tracy is moved to solitary “refinement” (GOOD MORNING BALTIMORE – REPRISE). Back at home, Wilbur is working on a giant joke can of hairspray, while Edna bewails Tracy’s fate as well as her own forgotten dreams of being a fabulous fashion designer. Even Mr. Pinky wants all his glamorous outfits back. She’s feeling old and worn-out. But Wilbur knows just what to say (TIMELESS TO ME). Link slips into jail past a sleeping guard to whisper to Tracy through the bars of her cell that he’s through with Amber, who was just using him to look popular. He wants Tracy to be his girl and wear his Corny Collins Council ring. Meanwhile, Prudy’s mother has tied Penny up in her room, but Seaweed comes to set her free. Link cuts through the bars of Tracy’s cell with a blowtorch made from a can of hairspray and a Zippo lighter (WITHOUT LOVE). They run to Motormouth Maybelle’s, where they plan their next move – the integration of the Miss Hairspray contest. Tracy is afraid of what it will cost her friends and family, but for Motormouth, it’s too late to turn back (I KNOW WHERE I’VE BEEN). At the Baltimore Eventorium, armed guards surround the Miss Teenage Hairspray spectacular, as Corny and The Council Members sing their big opening number, HAIRSPRAY. A scoreboard of votes for Miss Hairspray shows Amber and Tracy are neck-and-neck. A man wheels on a giant can of hairspray, but Velma recognises him as Wilbur and thinking this Trojan Horse houses his jailbird daughter, calls the riot police away from the entrance to guard it. It’s time for the contestants’ new dance competition. Amber dedicates her number, COOTIES, to Tracy “the Loser”. Amber is claiming the prize as Tracy bursts in, followed by Link, Penny and Li’l Inez. The armed guards turn out to be Seaweed, Motormouth and the kids from the other side of the tracks. Finally entering through the front door, everybody joins in Tracy’s dance and The Corny Collins Show is officially integrated, live and nationwide. The giant can of hairspray explodes to reveal Edna making her coast-to-coast television debut in a fabulous ensemble of her own creation. The dancing crowd then turns on Velma and Amber, inviting even them to admit YOU CAN’T STOP THE BEAT. |

He also gets work from the Alderman, who charges him with the security of the Mayoral chain. This is the object the evil King Rat has his eye on, as whoever has the mayoral chain on Boxing day becomes Lord Mayor of London. King Rat orders his henchmen, the Ratlings, and Anton Dec, his general dogsbody, to retrieve the chain from Dick’s safekeeping, which they succeed in doing. The ratlings and King Rat escape London, leaving Dick, Alice, Cat and the house cook Dame Delia in despair. Leaving London on the good ship ‘Enterprise’, Dick, Alice, Cat, and Dame Delia face terror when a storm causes the boat to capsize. They and the rest of the crew become marooned on a tropical island inhabited by what look like cannibals. However, the Queen of the Island, Padme, became vegetarian after she was ill when she ate someone who disagreed with her. Also on the island, and with evil plans to rule it and take all the treasures he can, is our old friend, King Rat. But Rats don’t like cats, and Cat soon cuts King Rat and the Ratlings down to size. Dick is able to recover the Mayoral Chain and they all return to London, ladened with many treasures from a grateful Queen, and just in time for Christmas! |

The two are arrested by Madam Inquisitor, as she has suspicions there is trickery afoot and they are brought before the King. The Inquisitor awaits the flogging order, but the King has taken notice of the lovely Miranda and instead invites her to accompany him to the Royal Variety Performance. This infuriates Madam Inquisitor, who has had her sights set on being Queen. She locks Miranda in the tower and orders her to spin gold so she can expose her as a cheat to the King. Miranda gets assistance from the mysterious Manikin, who can perform magic, but he demands a present for helping out. The straw is spun into gold when the Inquisitor returns. However, she is not convinced and locks Miranda up in the vaults this time, with nothing but her clothes, spinning wheel and yet more straw. The local press decide that the Inquisitor is being unfair on poor Miranda and decide to petition for her release. Will the hacks get Miranda released? And what is the ultimate present demanded by the Manikin? And will everyone live happily ever after? To quote from the show “this baby sure ain’t no pantomime!” |

A tale of courage, true love, slavery and saucepans! ACT ONE In a bustling marketplace, anxious townspeople await the arrival of the Kalendar Prince – suitor to Princess Raisin. With the Prince comes the Kalendar Stone, and some rather unsavoury characters following the stone itself. The most unsavoury of characters in Agrabah is Kaliban El Krookid, Kaliph of Kufabad. After listening in on the Prince and Princess’s tender meeting, he has his sights on the Kalendar Stone itself, and will stop at nothing to get it. As Kaliba parades the market, Genius the Genie comes across Sinbad the Sailor – a true blast from the past. Genius finds it imperative that Sinbad must know about Kaliban’s wicked plans, but are they too late? As the city falls into a deep slumber, Kaliban and his newly-found partner, Ali Baba, celebrate their triumph as Sinabd and Kashoo lie in wait. Now Sinbad, Kashoo and Genius must embark on a quest to return the stone to Agrabah and wake up the townspeople from their deep slumber. ACT TWO Sinbad and Kashoo now find themselves inside a dark cave, surrounded by all manner of creepy-crawlies. However, courage reigns true and the stone is found, much to the Prince’s relief! With the Stone safely in the hands of the Prince, the group decide to launch an assault on Kufabad Castle and bring Kaliban to justice! Unfortunately the element of surprise is lost on our intrepid heroes, and they are caught. Hope lies in the female of the species, though, and Kaliban and Ali Baba are soon locked up. With their quest at an end, and justice brought to Kaliban, it is time for our heroes to return home, to a most rapturous reception. |
