Educational Musicals would like to thank you for all the excellent feedback we have received. We’re delighted that parents, teachers and of course the children who perform our historical musicals enjoy them as much as much as we do writing them for you.
Here’s what you tell us!
‘On Wednesday 28th of April we put on our musical, titled ‘Athens- “The birth of Democracy’. It was a very successful show. The audience was thrilled, and most importantly the children who participated were very happy.

‘Henry VIII’ is a work of genius. It’s so hard to find really, really good resources for drama.

We have now done all the Greek plays you have and they have all been amazing, so thanks!

We did ‘Dream Catchers’ last year and thought it was fantastic. We used the backing tape and were thrilled with it.

…I saw a production of ‘The Boy King’ performed entirely by boys. It was really fantastic. They had made the costumes and scenery as per the Art Pack and it was colourful, amusing and the children obviously loved acting it out. The song ‘Trust me I’m an Advisor’ literally brought the house down. Well done.

…Our school performed ‘Ship of Dreams’. The reaction of both parents and teachers was overwhelming. All loved the music and many were moved to tears at the end. The children loved the show. We did it with two casts so that all our 84 Year 6 children could be involved. We costumed it in colours like in My Fair Lady, so 1st class were in black, white and yellow, 2nd class in black, white and red and others in any blue, greens and browns. Please pass on our congratulations to the authors.

My favourite song was burn. I liked Burn because it was cool. I was a Celt I thought the weapons were cool

‘Monster of the Maze’ certainly fulfils all the requirements for a school performance and is based on a story, which will give it kudos for both the audience and the teacher. Within the Primary level it will allow for a large amount of spin-off material and research.
Brian Hick, Musical Opinion
Thank you for writing the play I really enjoyed singing the songs and the audience loved the play and laughed a lot. When the Warrior Queen died it was sad and I thought that the play was a brilliant play!
Pupil, Wood End School, Herts, UK
The songs were brilliant and it was fun.
Pupil, Wood End School, UK
Thank you so much from all of us, the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Form Teacher, Wood End School, UK
Thank you for writing this play I really enjoyed singing the songs.

I can’t tell you what a success ‘The Victorian Historian’ has been. The children picked up the songs easily because they really liked them. Our leads learnt their lines in days and each show was a real success.

…I think I would use another of your plays because it’s a much easier way to learn about famous people than having hard lessons.
Pupil, Nunnery Wood Primary School, UK
…In conclusion, the play has been a huge success. We hope to have another one of your outstanding plays.
Pupils, Nunnery Wood Primary School, UK
My favourite song is “Engineering” and the quality of your play is so good I would like to know another of your productions. Our play has been a success. I do not like the bit where I have to kiss Queenie though.
Pupil, Nunnery Wood Primary School, UK
Many thanks for making my life so much easier and the children’s learning so much more fun!
Kate Dowell, Ysgol Gellifor, Ruthin, UK
I was quite serious about ‘The Boy King’, it was FANTASTIC. My lead, King Tutankhamun was a 9 year old gifted student who with his queen, brought the house down. He also used his acting experience in ‘The Boy King’ as a basis for a speech he gave at the South Westland Tournament. He won first place with high praise for his speech. So, double benefits from the play. I can send a couple of nice photos of the play, which you are welcome to use for publicity.

The children keep singing the songs to Henry VIII whenever they find an excuse.

We did ‘Perfect Pirates’ because I wanted a non-curriculum show, and it was wonderful. I’d like ‘The Dream Catcher’ now.
Ken Ellis, Streatham C. P. School, UK
The ‘Dream Catcher’ is fantastic. Even the boys are loving it. Thank you so much.

Thanks for a great musical! ‘The Victorian Historian’

Thank you for your speedy work. Can’t wait to read the new show ‘The Trojan Horse’. We loved ‘Perfect Pirates’.

I am looking for another of your wonderful assembly packs. ‘The Boy King’ was brilliant last year.

I love your songs – works of genius! They are fab.

Many thanks for your good wishes for our ‘Trojan Horse’ performance at the end of last term. All went off brilliantly – the children and audience thoroughly enjoyed themselves! We are all looking forward to another extravaganza next summer! Thank you to all your team for providing such an excellent resource.
Shirley Vickery-Mills St. Josephs School Burnham-on -Sea, UK
I purchased your musical ’1066′ and excellent it is! I have performed three of your musicals –’Trojan Horse’, ‘Battle of Britain’ and ‘Trafalgar – Nelson’s Finest Hour’.
KS2 Co-ordinator, Nunnery Wood Primary School, UK
They have all been great successes and it is a wonderful way to learn history. We have used the scenery and props suggestions. We have made the Trojan Horse, a Spitfire and HMS Victory as suggested.
Ray Parkins – Ipplepen Primary School.
‘Henry & Anne Boleyn’ Assembly – The dialogue and songs are humorous, which all helps children’s learning to become both funny and enjoyable. There is a song about Henry divorcing his wife called D.I.V.O.R.C.E. which is very catchy and reminded me of Tammy Wynette’s song of the same name. I was surprised how even the most introverted child lost all inhibitions to perform this song and began to direct the other students to use appropriate body language and expression. There are suggestions for costumes and stage directions are clear…They are a valuable resource that can be used flexibly by teachers and even more so by creative teachers. ”

“Our Sixth graders just finished a performance of “Christopher Columbus: The World is Round”. They did a great job with a very fun and quite clever script! Thanks for making musicals available specifically for kids! They had a great time and it was a wonderful performance!
