978-0-573-6-62379Children's MusicalMusic by David Perkins Adaptation, Book & Lyrics by Caroline Dooley & David Perkins 16 principals, chorus Unit Set A touching musical based on the well-loved story by Oscar Wilde...the golden statue of the Happy Prince stands high above the city looking down on the misery and poverty beneath him. Desperate to bring hope and happiness to the poor people, he asks a swallow to distribute his gold and jewels to them. The generosity of the Happy Prince and the courage of the swallow help to overcome the greed of the powerful mayor and we are shown that the most precious things in life are often the least obvious. “A bittersweet fable of Christ-like self-sacrifice, Oscar Wilde’s fairy story is perhaps weighty stuff for a musical comedy. But in their adaptation, Caroline Dooley and David Perkins have mined the story for its moments of satirical humour and sincere humanity. The result is a rich and varied piece.”- Madeline Clements, Surrey AdvertiserTerms quoted on applicationStandard rental package includes:Piano/Conductor ScoreFlute/ClarinetFlute/Clarinet/Bass ClarinetTrumpet/FlugelhornViolinBass GuitarDrums/Percussion Also available:Demo CD
