Performance Application Form

Set in the American ‘Wild West’, this versatile show within a show presents a colourful tapestry of events and emotions, moving naturally between lively humour and poignant drama. The story of Jesus’ life is explained and acted out as cheeky Jo quizzes the 'showmen', Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Nick Perrin has written a crucifixion scene that manages to be not only powerful and dramatic, but also appropriate for primary age children to perform. The uplifting gospel-style song, 'Roll Back The Stone', provides a tremendous and joyful climax to the show.
The show is ideal for full musical production, or shorter extracts can be used for assemblies, choirs or presentations. Although this is an ideal show for Easter time, it can be performed at any time of year. It offers a unique, creative and unforgettable way in which to bring the Gospel story to life for modern day children.

'We've done two of your shows before, and didn't think we'd ever better 'The Blue Crystal'. Although we are a church school, initially we felt nervous about tackling 'The Gospel Show'. However, knowing the way your musicals appeal to children, we decided to give it a go, and we were astonished at the way our pupils took to it - they were queuing up to be involved! The response from both pupils and parents was absolutely stupendous. The show brought the house down!' Michelle Orson - Head Teacher, Birmingham.

Roaring Success Review by Nina Lewis - Worship And Music Coordinator, London

I'm a Primary school teacher and we performed your musical "The Gospel Show" at our school Easter service yesterday. I just wanted to tell you that it was a roaring success. I have produced similar productions for the last 12 years, but this was the best by far! The songs were so exciting for the pupils and the story line (we just did the latter part-the Easter story) was very powerful. One young pupil in Year 1 who was in the congregation whispered to his teacher "Miss, is it for real, or just pretend"! All good wishes and thanks.rn

Very Good! Review by Steve Dakin - Teacher, The Wirral

Very good! A script which was easy for the pupils to learn quickly.

A Truly Moving Musical. Review by Anna Reid - Head Teacher, East Sussex

A truly moving musical - retelling the Gospel Story, through song, dance and drama. A great experience whether participating or watching.

Great Success. Review by Jill Abbotts - Kexborough Methodist Youth Theatre

The show was a great success, enjoyed by audiences of all ages....the music was excellent; the children coped admirably with the harmonies - two part, three part etc....we had a brilliant show.

A 'fun' Production. Review by Mick Britton - Head Of R.e. Dept. Yorkshire

The songs are extremely catchy and engaged the pupil's interest from the start. It was a 'fun' production yet conveyed the message of the Gospel to both participants and audience. It brings the standard of the West End to the pupils!
