Children can use it at school or at home - think of the time it will save you! Most schools use it in class on an interactive white board or in the school hall on the overhead projector to allow full cast practice. Children LOVE learning this way and the product is foolproof.

Rock Bottom
" Fast paced, catchy songs and some hilarious characters ; it was destined to be a rousing success. It did not disappoint and audience members rated it 'the best show so far' after producing 20 years of large school shows. With 350+ students to cast in various choruses this musical lent itself brilliantly to our needs. The support materials were beyond our dreams and helped to make a quality show with very little extra work required by our teachers when it came to chorus choreography and song rehearsal. Searching the site for another one for our next show. Thanks, Musicline!"Jane Lacey, Overport PS, Frankston Sth, Victoria, Australia

"Hilarious fun. Adults and kids alike enjoyed the puns. Play had a cast of 160 kids with speaking and non-speaking roles. The Director added some unique South African fun to the play which resonated well with the audience. The play was a blast from beginning to end. Looking forward to the next production. "Al Reddy, Hillcrest Prmary, Hillcrest, Durban

"This is the fourth Craig Hawes we've done and we weren't disappointed. Had 62 Y5/6 pupils and the show was amazing. Songs were brilliant, the Dance-It really helped and the audience said it was the best yet. Such fun to put on. Make sure you get three really funny children as the three amigos - they'll need to perfect their rubbish Mexican accents but it's better if they're not good! Best line... 'Yabba, dabba'..."Don't" Amigo's hold the whole thing together and are fab parts. We had a boy play the baddie Lady - this was a great decision but make sure they're happy to fulfil the role to its fullest! Thank you Craig - what would Christmas be without your shows? Love them!"Paula Ketcher-Murrell, Newton Primary School, Swansea

"Great fun for us (audience members, uncle and aunt of cast members)! Lots of jokes to make grown-ups guffaw as well as the kids, some neatly written songs, and a fast pace to make sure even tired adults don't fall asleep. Lovely to see all the kids, whatever their background and personality, able to participate and have fun and enjoy being part of a big team effort. Well done everyone! :)"Rob Ainsley, Audience member, Harrogate

"Another brilliant show from Craig Hawes! Our Year 5 and 6 had a blast putting this together and we even managed to extend the script to nearly 65 speaking parts by having 2 sets of Eggheads and 9 Time keepers! I think the songs are some of the best yet being both catchy and clever! As usual the script is fast moving and jam- packed with truly terrible puns! Thank you ."Hannah Mann, Whiteley Primary School, Fareham, Hampshire

"You'd be mad not to buy this - yet another hilarious hit from Craig Hawes. It's a laugh-a-minute show, with jokes for all ages strewn in cleverly along the way. The songs are catchy and easy to pick up; you'll be singing them for weeks afterwards! Our Year 3 & 4 children had a fantastic time rehearsing and performing this super show and they (and their audiences) will remember it for years to come. Fred Flinstone eat your heart out!"Laura Mitchell, Oak Farm Junior School, Hillingdon

"We absolutely loved this show. The most fun we've ever had rehearsing. Went down a storm with children and parents and the songs are so catchy that the whole school are singing them! Well done Craig Hawes another smash hit. Thank you!!"Miss E Holloway, Margaret Roper RC Primary School, Purley, Surrey

"We performed this hilarious production with all our KS2 children and it was a huge success! We split the show into two halves with an interval, which worked perfectly. Children and adults loved the humour and the Stone Age theme, and the songs are just superb! Rock Bottom really rocks!"Pete Delafield, St. Luke's Primary, Shireoaks

"Our Year 5s had a blast with this show. Such a clever, funny, fast-moving script, brilliantly catchy songs and so easy to costume! Great fun from beginning to end - I think this is my new favourite Craig Hawes show!"Jessica Chambers, Sparken Hill Academy, Worksop
