Full Length Musicals
Wonderland! is an unabashedly silly adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass. With hip-hopping music, it
is an upbeat coming-of-age story that audiences of all ages will adore! You’ll recognize some of your favorite familiar characters
of Alice’s Wonderland along with meeting dozens of new ones: a baseball team, a gospel group called The Responsibilities,
a train conductor, a star-struck tourist, plastic light-saber wielding knights and much more. With minimal set requirements, the
play can be performed on a bare stage with suggested set changes, or the production can be as huge as your imagination and
budget allow. An eclectic mix of ballads, rap, rock, gospel and calypso music will have your audiences grinning like a Cheshire
cat! You’ll love the toe-tapping musical renditions of “Jabberwocky” and “The Walrus and the Carpenter” as well
as other great numbers such as “Anything’s Possible,” “Step by Step,” and the hysterical “I was a Good Egg But
Then I Done Went Bad” sung by Humpty Dumpty and the Dixie Chickens!

It’s all here! The magic that has made The Wizard of Oz everyone’s favorite fantasy story. Now a modern, new
version with delightfully inventive music! A rock beat is woven throughout — a bit of funk-rock, a touch of samba,
bluegrass, blues and ballads — lyrics as charming as the rhythms. Several great songs for creative choreography. All
of the same loveable characters: Dorothy and Toto, the rubber-legged Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion and the Tin
Woodsman. Lots of action! They battle the Wicked Witch of the West, the Fighting Trees, the Enchanted Poppies
and the Winged Monkeys. The Good Witch, Glinda, saves Dorothy and friends and leads them to the palace of the
great and powerful Wizard. He grants all wishes and helps Dorothy and Toto return home to Kansas. Many great
parts for all types of performers. A spectacular show, simplified.

Legendary super-cowboy Pecos Bill loses his heart to the spunky cowgirl, Slue Foot Sue. She and the “Suffering
Suffragettes” lead Pecos Bill kickin’ and screamin’ into politics! They want to nominate him for Senator to put down
scoundrel-politician, Lemuel Gillynapper. The issue is the “Wing-Dang-Doo” — a code name for equal rights for women.
Pecos Bill gets entangled in a nasty campaign of hilarious dirty tricks. Maybe he can’t read or write, but he sure does find
the way to use cowboy ingenuity to defeat a sneaky opponent. The Comanche Indians go on the warpath, Pecos wins the
nomination, equal rights are in view and he marries the wily Slue Foot Sue. Eight lively country and bluegrass songand-dance
numbers: “Pecos Bill,” “Slue Foot Sue,” “Come-on In,” “The Good, the Bad and the Dead,”
“I Love You Truly,” “Book Larnin’ Jest Ain’t Fer Me,” “It’s Simply a Matter of Politics” and “We’re Goin’ to
Have a Wing-Dang-Doo!” It’s a mad-catchy, rip-roarin’ show for a large cast. Great costumes, kooky dances with nonstop
laughter. A show every bit as lively as Annie Get Your Gun but far easier to stage.
