What would happen if every computer in the world crashed ? This disastrous scenario is the springboard for a riotous adventure - a mix of Star Wars and Indiana Jones, in which our hero has to enter the only computer left working to find out what is wrong and save humanity from a dire threat ! This Rock and Pop spectacular is an inspired update of Mozarts The Magic Flute ! Some of Mozarts songs remain note-for-note, though in a modern idiom, while new ones have been constructed, but all based on phrases from the original. A challenging product, it uses a large cast and can accomodate non - singers it has an abundance of wit and humour backed by a sublime score.
Malcolm Sircom
Malcolm read music at Cambridge University before entering the theatre as a Musical Director. Probably the highlight of his career was a 4 year world tour of the 'Rocky Horror Show'. At the same time he honed in his writing skills with a series of Pantomimes and Children's musicals, which were performed professionally all over the country including his hit 'Mr Men Musical' in London's West End.He started writing schools musicals with 'Ebenezer', which coincided with the launching of Musicline. Since then his many follow-ups have been so successful worldwide that they enabled him to retire from the theatre to concentrate solely on this aspect of his talents.
His major hobbies were bridge, cricket, and writing musicals for schools! People have often asked him if he is a teacher, as his shows have such a rapport with kids. He answered no - just an entertainer pure and simple, backed by the experience of years in the professional theatre.

An outstanding musical!
An outstanding musical! Very clever updating of the Mozart classic, which gave us the opportunity to study The Magic Flute in preparation for the show. Lots of parts and room for expansion -- we created a chorus line of Mad Scientists for our show!
