Which leaves the most important ingredients : the boys. I am surprised that the post 1965 songs of Lennon and McCartney have not been married with Roald Dahl before. I chose the seven Beatle’s songs to help punctuate the script with a melodic, hippyish theme. This was my overriding wish that all boys had the chance to shine and show their parents, the audience as a whole, and each other, what they’ve “got”. The energetic, imaginative and fun choreography by Sian Bond ensured that all boys were never far away from a spotlight of their own. It was also vital to me that all boys feature prominently and regularly throughout the show. Roald Dahl lends himself perfectly for prep school productions because of the extreme characterisation and the moral message that bad and evil must not conquer. It was my intention from the start to go for something a little less mainstream yet still a classic story.
