This is a wonderfully imaginative story for young children with six lively songs that can be easily enjoyed and performed by a chorus of varying sizes. There are plenty of small parts for everyone in a class and the script contains a healthy portion of humour and fun. The songs are all fully orchestrated with a professional backing C.D which also includes a fully sung version of each track so that you can learn them easily.
This is the story of a good boy (Ben) who has accidentally broken his mother's prized ornament. She calls him a Little Monster and sends him out into the garden as a punishment. It is in Ben's garden that all the other Little Monsters, Cheeky Monkeys, Terrible Twos and Fidgets appear having been given titles of their own and together they have to find a way to become children again. Every now and again an innocent remark can take on a whole new meaning in a childs fantastic imagination and this is a story built around one of those occasions.
Gawen Robinson
Gawen has written music for as long as he can care to recall (having composed around 300 songs before he was 14 on an old acoustic guitar given to him by his mother). Having experienced the rock music world for a number of years playing in several semi-successful bands he decided to concentrate on musical theatre (both acting and composing). His collaboration with lyricist Stephen Robertson has, over a number of years, produced The Old Curiosity Shop and Notre Dame, both being large scale, sung through musicals (at present they are reworking the former). Gawen has also composed several, small scale children's book musicals based around historical topics covered in primary schools. He is looking forward to starting on a major new work sometime soon.
