Overview

A musical designed for school production- particularly SEN can also be used in all schools. It is the day of the school photo with everybody getting spruced up for the occasion. Things start to go wrong for Sidney when the photographer fails to turn up and he is confronted by the gang of school bullies. In an attempt to get away from them Sidney runs away and escapes into a lift. However one of the bullies, Jake, manages to get into the lift just as the doors slam shut. The lift goes up. When the lift stops the doors open revealing a fantasy world of music to the travellers. When they leave the lift Sidney and Jake are confronted by a raucous cacophony of sound. The Spirit of the Land of Music enters with her sprites. Bemused and scared our travellers are calmed by the Spirit who will take them on a journey to help them understand anger, fear and loneliness - a therapeutic journey with music as the great healer.
