THE GREATEST STORYTELLER
The Greatest Storyteller is a magical musical about Charles Perrault, the famed fairytale writer, who brings joy to the children of Versailles while reconnecting with his own family. In the beautiful gardens, Perrault, admired for his storytelling, realises he's neglected his children. As he shares tales like Cinderella and Puss in Boots, he learns the importance of family. After his wife’s passing, he gathers his children to share the story of Sleeping Beauty, fostering healing and connection. The musical culminates in a grand celebration, emphasising love, imagination, and the timeless magic of storytelling, making it perfect for audiences aged 3 to 90.

Class Rehearsals
Students must be enrolled in a Creative Collab Musical Theatre course during the April to June 2025 term where they will prepare for the production. We ask that you remain committed to your course and avoid transferring during the rehearsal process. This is not a compulsory event, and your child will still have the opportunity to explore the theme fully within class time.
Production
The production will take place on 14 June 2025. Exact performance/on-stage rehearsal dates and times will be allocated during May. Siblings will be cast into the same show where requested. For students enrolled in The Greatest Storyteller, the rehearsal will replace the regular lesson on 14 June.

The production fee does not include tickets to watch the show. We will inform you via email when tickets are on sale which will be about 4 weeks before the production.
