Anyone who has seen a copy of the script can you tell me is the language toned down at all. Dd is desperate to see it and a local company are doing it but I feel she is just a little young yet for the uneditied version!

It's been toned down completely IOS! We have 6 year olds taking part in our local production. Definitely OK for your dd now

[islandofsodor]

Thanks.

Thats annoying in a way as they must have changed the criteria. We decided not to apply to do it as they said only children aged 9 and above could take part and that would have meant excuding all our youngest students.

[Hecouldshine]

I could be completely wrong about the 6 year olds. I just remember hearing about some tiny "policemen" in it. But they could just be tiny

There are a few 7 year olds in my dd's production and a token 5 year old. I would imagine there are many more little ones taking part in this across the country - there are 115 groups involved in total.

Both my DD's are performing in Windsor Theatre next month the youngest is 7. The script has been adapted but there is still alot of language !!!

We are hoping to go to see this at Windsor next month

DD started rehearsals for this last Sunday, she's playing 'dead Mum' (plus ensemble) can't wait 'til June now! Only problem is I can't get through 'the letter' without blubbing as it is, what will I be like with DD singing it!

[STEFFYSMUM]

good luck to her i cant get through the letter without bubbling either think i would be a mess if dd had to sing it lol

[pmfb]

Great shortguy

Hope you enjoy it

Good luck to all those involved with these productions. DS has had a fab time and can't wait for the next venue in Portsmouth on Friday. Regards to the language, it has been toned down, but it there is still quite a bit of swearing( which my ds has to say quite a bit of, much to his pleasure ) Has anyone heard about the regional finals yet?

[oscar]

DS theatre group found out this week that they have been selected for the regional finals. So pleased after all the hard work that has been put in. They are going to Brighton. Any one else going?

[Caroline A-C]

My dd's group are also through to the regional finals in High Wycombe on 22nd May - all very exciting. Well done to all those through to this stage and good luck.

Good luck to your dd Caroline. What an experience for them all.
