“The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
I saw it with my eyes. I heard it with my ears.
Some of it fell on my tail” – Chicken Licken
Best for ages 6 and above!!!! Duration – 1 hr 10 minutes
This classic children's story is transformed
into a wonderfully catchy musical, with a clear moral and loads of fun for all
the family. Oh, yes, and a twist in the tale!
Chicken Licken is honest and straightforward - but maybe just a bit TOO honest
for some! And there may be more than one creature in the Wild Wood who doesn't
like that at all...
When Chicken Licken is struck one day – not by a brilliant idea, but by
an acorn; without fully understanding what hit her, Chicken Licken’s response
is to panic… A panic which sets in motion a series of events that no-one
could foresee.
There are those who take advantage of the chaos… and there are those who
would take advantage of the terrified creatures in the wood. Is Chicky brave
enough to stand up and admit her mistake?
And even if she does, there are some creatures who might want to use the situation
for their own purposes...
Who will the other creatures listen to?
Meet Chicken Licken, Ducky Lucky, Turkey Lurkey, Goose Loose, and the beguiling
but slightly sinister Foxy Loxy, amongst others.
You may be surprised at who the good guys are; and who are the villains!
We were very proud to be able to headline the KL Children's Theatre Festival in Kuala Lumpur in August with this production. It went down a storm! We're hoping that it may soon travel even further afield!
