Musical: Cast, Choir and Music
The Choir
There are 9 different songs, for choirs or in some cases soloists, which are very catchy and are easy to sing by mixed ability Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils.

The fully Staged Version is written for actors, choir and soloists.

'Staged Version'

The casting may be reduced for productions with fewer members and increased for productions with greater members, and all casting is easily switched between boys and girls (although we have made the script as balanced as possible).
The main speaking role is, 'Myro the Microlight', which can be split into two: one actor playing the part for Act 1 and the other for Act 2.
The minimum recommended number of children required to perform the Staged Version is 16 speaking and 10 non-speaking roles with the songs being sung by the entire cast.
The maximum number of children that could perform the Staged version is 33 speaking, 90 non-speaking and unlimited choir.
