STORY VERSION AGES 3-7: 6 SONGS / SCRIPT FOR AGES 7-10: 8 SONGS
The Giant returns from his 7 year holiday with The Cornish Ogre to find children playing in his garden. He builds a high wall to keep them out but the garden is then invaded by raucous characters that plague him. Spring never returns and it is always winter in the garden until one day the giant meets a boy who needs his help.
The most amazing project! Our performers will remember their performance for the rest of their lives. Your music empowers people to perform way beyond expectations. Thank you

The Selfish Giant has been performed all over the world, in venues that include the Royal Opera House and was once prepared for performance in the presence of HM The Queen. Celebrities, teachers, children and parents have written testimonials to its success. There have been large scale performances to audiences of 2000 and younger children, singing and dancing their way through a first stage performance in smaller venues, have truly and easily captured the ‘magic’ that Spike Milligan spoke of.
This musical began life in schools as a short adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s beautiful story and was later developed as an animated project for television so the resources you use for your production have been prepared by professional musicians, arrangers, producers and technicians in the best recording studios to broadcast standards. There is a recorded narration of the story by Johnny Morris and the longer version features one of the most popular songs we’ve written, Forever Friends, sung by Jon Lee (S Club, Les Miserables, Jersey Boys)
