A Mighty Medieval Musical
by John Jacobson & Roger Emerson.
Imagine a world where all weapons were replaced by musical instruments. Here's the legend of King Arthur and his Knights with all the characters, like Lord Dance-a lot, Sir Ender, Sir Vival, Lady Bug, Lady Luck, Lady Singalot, Merlin, and the dresses and armor and jesters. But, when Arthur has to pull the sword out of the stone, he must choose between the sword and a Boomwhacker! And when the French arrive, they're armed with recorders!
Perfect for upper elementary and middle school performers, this musical features seven original songs in a variety of musical styles, adaptable choreography, helpful staging and costume tips, and a script with 40 speaking parts easily adaptable for casts of varying sizes, and teaching objectives linked to the National Standards for each song. Stage simply or with full costumes and sets, with few or a multitude. Think of the possibilities for harmony and colorful jousts--even a round around the round table. 30 min. Gr. 4-8.
