SongStarz launch 2 new FREE!* 'Feel Good' Musicals for Schools for 2023: 'SongStarz - Audition Show' and 'SongStarz Beginnings - The Musical'.

LONDON, ENGLAND, November 29, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Following the Success of 'SongStarz – The Musical' by F.J.Lily, SongStarz are launching 2 new FREE* Musicals for Schools for 2023.

In recognition of the positive impact of Arts participation on wellbeing, SongStarz are waiving licences fees for schools in 2023 for their 'feel good' musicals.

They are also asking schools to offer audience tickets to the show for FREE! with voluntary donations taken on performance nights to go to a registered local charity chosen by the school.

The aim is that schools get to stage a musical in 2023 without having to pay a performance licence, students can participate in shows without worrying whether or not friends and family can afford to watch their performance, and community charities are supported.

A one act show with 3 SongStarz Songs it provides scope and resources (backing tracks and songwriting tips and prompts) to support students to write their own songs and perform them within the framework of elements of the SongStarz story and a scripted SongStarz Audition.

The SongStarz Series:

With SongStarz already known to thousands of young people and adults who have been involved in productions of SongStarz - The Musical and are fans of SongStarz, the SongStarz series tracks Issy, Lola and Cass, a.k.a, also known as, the Cutie Catz' adventures in SongStarz, the television competition where contestants write and perform their own songs, and where things are not quite as they seem.

Sharing the ups and downs of teenage friendship circles, with a host of quirky characters and a sense of intrigue, SongStarz is a 'spytastic' contemporary series with a retro feel. The series not only keeps its upper Middle Grade/Teen/YA readers enthralled but totally ‘gets’ the interests and essence of today’s teenagers.

Relatable, fun, and fast-paced, the SongStarz series is supported by companion books, songs, music and related media.

"The series not only keeps its upper Middle Grade/Teen/YA readers enthralled but totally ‘gets’ the interests and essence of today’s teenagers. It has the potential of becoming a defining series for this star-struck, social and socially aware, tech savvy generation." - Broadway World
