“Boy Weevil…The Musical” was produced, directed and performed by this dedicated team of people. who really do go from strength to strength with every production.
This time they were tackling the issues relating to the popular CBBC “superhero” series and the fight for “centre stage” spot…and the mayhem that ensues!
This show was cleverly written by Jay & Lucy, directed by Jay and choreographed by Hannah. Congratulation to all 3 of you for devising and bringing your production to life with such energy and confidence from everyone involved.
Everyone on stage was an integral part of this production – whether they were disgruntled stage crew, chorus members with big ideas, writers who were at loggerheads with each other, or vying for “top spot” in the musical, being goaded by the autocratic director (who was boo’d and hissed at every opportunity once we saw his true colours). This was a wordy production – and everyone was faultless in their dialogue. With 23 cast members involved, each and every one of them had dialogue at some point throughout the piece – I loved the way that every single person had their chance to shine.
As in all their previous productions, there were some very clever musical numbers woven into the play – which really helped to bring out the storyline. Jay is extremely talented to be able to take a piece of music, and then adapt the words to compliment the storyline. Ingenious!
The performers used backing tracks –and each and every one of them was faultless in their performance.
Hannah’s beautiful solo dance number was breathtaking. Well done on her choreography for the whole production – everyone looked to be really enjoying themselves.
With great “technical” support on sound and effective lighting techniques it was a great evening’s entertainment. The set was simple but effective and I loved the “comic book” effect of the “BW” logo.
KYDZ is a “team” company – with an array of crew, front of house, admin and chaperones – without whom none of this would happen. Long may your support and enthusiasm continue.
