The Wizard of Oz

In 2004 KidzAct performed The Wizard of Oz to a sell out audience of over one thousand. With a cast of around 90 with ages ranging from just 5 up to 15 it was a huge undertaking, but we rose to the occasion.

Below are a few quotes from the audience and people who took part.

“Well done Jo and all the cast of The Wizard of Oz. Brilliant show. Everyone looked so happy. Worth all the hard work that was put in”

“Thank you for all the things you’ve done and all the stage crew. I really enjoyed taking part and I was sad when it ended”

“Just a note to say congratulations on the superb performances of The Wizard of Oz. The children were all fantastic and I would like to thank you and all your helpers for all the hard work, sweat and tears it must have taken to produce such a great end result”

“The best three days of my life”


Bugsy Malone

Never one to shy away from experimentation, Bugsy Malone was our most technically demanding production in our 6 year history. We wanted to create an animation style atmosphere and achieved this by returning to the projected backdrops which were used in The Wizard of Oz.

Following on our successes with The Wizard of Oz in 2004 and our open air performance of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in Dunnottar Woods last June, this production will brought together 70 cast members between the ages of 9 and 16.

It’s 1929 and in New York, gang warfare rages between Fat Sam Stacetto and Dandy Dan O’Conlon as they fight for control over New York’s Lower East Side. The mild mannered and sometimes unwitting hero, Bugsy Malone, gets caught in the middle of the action trying to earn money to get his girl, Blousey, to Hollywood to follow her dreams. Bugsy, and those he meets, discover that friendship, teamwork and understanding will get you far more than confrontation, fighting and intimidation. In the words of the final song; You Give A Little Love and it all comes back to you………… Bugsy Malone, which includes such memorable songs as Bad Guys and Fat Sam’s Grand Slam, a wonderful, fun family show!
