The Addams family has music and lyrics written by Andrew Lipper from a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice and is based on characters created by Charles Addams from the well-known television series and films of the same name.
This was a very entertaining and enjoyable production from SONG, directed by Karen Edge with musical direction by Charles Moss and choreography from Victoria Harrocks. The young cast who were probably too young to have seen the original television show, entertained us with excellent portrayals of the characters that we know and love with a maturity that belied their age.

The Wiz is a re-telling of the well-loved children’s fairy tale, The Wizard of Oz through the music and language of black America and, it has to be said, the youngsters of SONG performed it brilliantly.
The dancing, choreographed by Jenny Birch, was step-perfect and the musical backing, with its fusions of gospel, R & B and swing, rocked along under the direction of Sarah Nicholson.

On stage for the whole of the action, approx one and three quarter hours, they sang, acted and danced their way through a production which was apparently of great delight to them and certainly was to their audience.
