When your last performance is awarded the National Operatic and Dramatic Association Best Junior Show 2008 what do you do to follow it?

This is the question posed to the Junior section of AAODS following their sell out Les Miserables in November last year.

And the answer? Well, do something completely different! And so this year's production is Moby Dick, The Musical.

Set in a failing Girls' School that is facing imminent closure due to lack of funds, the Headmistress (played by a man) decides to stage a fundraising show & so Moby Dick the Musical is conceived.

Very loosely based on the book of the same name this show will have the audience rolling in the aisles with its funny one-liners and a brilliant score full of foot stomping tunes.

The award winning production team of Director Jaci Brickley Clark and Musical Director Sarah Fowler have combined yet again to bring yet another fantastic show featuring the talents of this group of young and enthusiastic performers that is not to be missed!

"The show is a St Trinian's type funny musical in which the head teacher - a man pretending to be a woman, played by Andrew Fowler -decides to put on the musical and star in it herself as Captain Ahab in order to make some money.," explained director Jaci.

"The girls all rally around to find or make the props and everything they need to do the show, which they present in the school gym.

"The main characters are all based on characters from the novel but with a twist, with Starbuck played by Chelsea Viveash, Ishmael played by newcomer Laura Sidney, Queequeg the cannibal played by Aimee Mogford, Pip the cabin boy played by Tommy Mogford and Ahab's wife Esta played by Sian Roche," she said.

"The show is a pastiche of lots of different genres of music, from 50's style doo-wop through Les Miserables parodies to Irish style Riverdance with lots of tongue-in-cheek humour and funny situations make it accessible to all ages.

"In short the whole the family will love it!" said Jaci.

So if you want to follow the exploits of St Godley's School for Girls as they fight to keep their school on an even keel, sail on down to the Borough Theatre between November 9 - 14.
