Wonderful Musicals For Kids Let Their Talents Shine

By Celia Hall


Excellent musicals for kids come in a wide range of lengths and themes. When you plan that everyone will have the chance to be a part of the show, then you can focus on what type of presentation it will be. There are wonderful new scripts and a lot of supporting information available, so you can get involved without worry even if you are new to stage performances.

The goal when working with children is to help all of them participate to their best ability. Because educational theater groups are now presenting student musicals online for purchase, there is a wealth of information available. First time musical participants can enjoy the support that comes with the teacher guides, CD soundtracks, accompaniment tracks, licenses and clearly written student scripts.

Whether your group is small or large, there is a musical tailored to suit your size. When browsing online, look for the number of cast members included for each show. Find the information concerning how lead parts are handled and check to see if there is level information that might be helpful. Most will indicate if beginners, intermediate or advanced students would be most comfortable with the roles.

Being inspired to present a good looking show is as simple as looking over online photo galleries for recent shows. The companies that sell the musicals often pair their advertisements with these photographs. You can model your costumes, scenery and props to look similar to what you see, or come up with your own versions. Your budget will help you make good choices.

Musicals are divided into solos, duets, groups and even audience participation. Compare the abilities your students have with the show requirements to see if you have the appropriate genders, number and age appropriate materials. If you want the audience to be a part of singing along, then choose music that is tried and true and very familiar. Your show will be more successful if you make the musical parts accessible to many.

You should be able to start rehearsals fairly soon after you decide what the musical will be. The downloads make accessing the scripts and music so much more easy than waiting for publishing houses to mail to you. These types of musicals are truly reasonably priced, as well. Spending about one hundred dollars will provide you with all the documents you need to operate your show.

Once you have the musical scripts in hand and the learning process begun, you will start thinking about how to stage it. Making scenery and props to use will also come into the picture. Simply check the instructions and also return to the online photos for additional inspiration.

Great musicals for kids are available in short one act plays or longer presentations with many scenes and costume changes. Consider your children and how to best portray their new theatrical skills. Shorter running times and simpler costuming works best for very young children and smaller groups. You can do more when your students are older, or your support staff and budget are bigger. Whatever you choose, be certain to use the personalities and natural capabilities you already see in your group. Is this way, you can help everyone to enjoy the fun of putting on a music show, whether they have experience or not.
