Marmaduke! Written by Carol Peaker, with music by Alex Thomas

​​​

'A true musical comedy...we can be sure that we will hear more of marvellous Marmaduke and his misadventures!'

 

AT A GLANCE...

A wacky and fast-paced musical comedy in two short acts, about a bored schoolboy who is taken on as an assistant by a madcap inventor mouse! 70 minutes of all-singing and all-dancing fun, with potential for puppetry and ambitious choreography. 

​

ROLES: 12+ roles, with flexible chorus including a number of small speaking roles.

​

MUSIC: 7 songs with backing tracks (or live piano/bass/drums). The style is swing/pop/rock with a nod to Disney!

​

OVERVIEW​

Noah thinks year six is grim. So when he unexpectedly meets madcap inventor, Marmaduke Mouse, he leaps at the chance to become his official Sidekick.
But in Mouseland, Noah discovers more than just Marmaduke’s weird and unpredictable inventions. He also encounters Mouseland’s human-hating Mayor
Can Noah persuade Marmaduke to invent a ‘Year Six Fixer’ before the Mayor bans him from Mouseland forever?

 

This is a fun and highly imaginative show, perfect for schools or youth groups. Marmaduke is initially portrayed through a puppet. The roles of Noah and Marmaduke can be shared, to create more lead roles. The ensemble can expand to include numerous 'mouselings', but with a smaller cast there is plenty of opportunity for multi-roling.
