Based upon The Tortoise and the Hare, Zoom is a sparkling musical comedy which retells the famous fable in an usual way.
Harvey Hare, wealthy business tycoon, is running for Mayor of Evergreen Valley, but his methods are rather underhand. When his small, shell-shuffling employee Toby Tortoise discoversthe truth, he challenges Harvey and the stage is set for the race of all time.
It's a race between fast and slow, big and small, right and wrong... but who will win in the end?
With nine outstanding songs ranging from beautiful ballads to show-stopping chorus numbers the score is guaranteed to be a hit with everyone.
The witty, humourous script mixes comedy and pathos and is brought to life by a cast of colourful characters. With speaking parts for between 20 and 40 youngsters aged 7 to 12, plus unlimited chorus parts, this is an ideal production for schools of all sizes.
Superbly orchestrated backing tracks are available with and without vocals on CD.

Excellent!
Excellent! Zoom was our first production from this company and it went down extremely well. The music was spot, not to mention how much the kids enjoyed it. The short movies on the site were great for set and costume ideas. THANKS!

We have just finished our production of ZOOM. The show was a true hit in the village and with the 40 children taking part! We all had fun working on it and found the directions simple and easy to follow. Thank you Craig Hawes!

Brilliant mix of comedy and emotion...
A really brilliant mix of comedy and emotion, made for the enjoyment of everyone, from the audience to the actors. A perfect example of a dilemma, yet funny all the way through. We really enjoyed putting it together.

Great success
This was a great success. It is naturally funny and got more laughs than any production I have done before! The DVD is worth getting because it has extra scenes. I was able to cut and add my favourite bits. Great -easy to follow ! Richard Cowley
