Olivia

Our pupil council chose this show to perform last summer. The whole school took part, from the 5 year olds to our 12 year olds who were leaving to go to secondary school. Even though we do a musical every year, this one really challenged them - but every one of them rose to the challenge and performed brilliantly! As the teacher in charge, I loved the music - it's so nice to do a schools musical that sounds like a 'real' musical!
I'll be buying from this site again, definitely! (Posted on 17/01/2010)

I LOVE practicing Olivia! Our dress rehersal is 2morrow and I'm really exited. I'm playing Eliza doolittle and my best friend paige is playing Olivia and my other best friend, Caitlin is playing Mrs hudson. I also found it really hard 2 do the cockney accent though, I think my character is the hardest role 2 play. (Posted on 10/12/2009)

A play that shows off acting, dancing and singing talents. Lots of solo oportunities and perfect for a girl heavy cast. Went down a storm with cast and audience. (Posted on 15/11/2009)

What a fantastic show with high quality music and lots for all the children to do. The best musical I have ever directed. (Posted on 25/03/2009)

An outstanding production - one to show off the talents of your young people. The girl who plays Eliza should have a particularly good voice. (Posted on 09/04/2008)

We performed this show with a cast of 40 children aged between 6 and 12 three weeks ago. Cast and audiences loved it! We cast adults in the roles of Mrs M, Mrs D and the Fat Lady but the children did the rest and were amazing! (Posted on 09/04/2008)

BRILLIANT! Everyone in my year group enjoyed it sooooo much! I love the way Malcolm Sircom has taken characters from different plays like Scrooge and George Bernard Shaw. i also love the way the characters are linked like Annie and Olivia. (Posted on 08/04/2008)

This brilliant play was a pleasure to put on. It was fun and all the kids loved it. I advise all schools to choose this play! (Posted on 08/04/2008)

We are doing this play in school and the music and songs are really good to learn and basically it's the girl version of Oliver! WOW!!!! (Posted on 08/04/2008)

I never had a big part in this play. But this is the best play I've done! I was one of the Flower Sellers-Flo. And I enjoyed it very much! (Posted on 08/04/2008)

Olivia is a brilliant play. Our school was the first to perform it; Woods Foundation School in Nottingham, England. I think that even though the main character is Olivia, Elizza Doolittle was the hardest part! Brilliant. (Posted on 08/04/2008)

Last year, me and my classmates performed in "Olivia!" and nearly all of us thought it was the best play we had ever been in. I played the part of Olivia and want to say a big thanks to Malcolm Sircom for providing my school with such excellent shows!! (Posted on 08/04/2008)

Olivia is a fabulous play. We performed this play and all in all it turned out great, including famous characters from Scrooge to Fagin and Dodger. The songs sound brilliant and with a choir they sound even better! I highly recommend this play! (Posted on 08/04/2008)

Last week we performed Olivia for two nights and not only was the audience reaction,to put it mildly, gobsmacked but the girls had a brilliant time both rehearsing and performing this fantastic piece.Thanks for such a great show with which to work. (Posted on 08/04/2008)

Rehearsals have only just started for this latest offering from Malcolm Sircom, but Olivia looks like being one of his best yet. Lots of great and varied tunes with clever lyrics and a wonderful script. Can't wait for the performances! (Posted on 08/04/2008)
