Magicians show their special tricks – escapology, hypnotism
or making their hares fall out

world, decide to create their own travels
• 'What A Voice'
There is more to Musical Theatre than just singing – you
have to keep acting until the fat lady sings...
Each
'What A…' Play has a large number of Chorus parts as
well as individual 'cameos' for each performer. The lines are written
in easy to learn verse styles (limericks, couplets, etc.) and
the stereo-typical characters provide a great deal of scope for individual
interpretation
