A family musical created specifically for deaf audiences is to tour the UK later this year, and will premiere at the Arena Theatre in Wolverhampton on April 7 and 8 2017.
Oliver in the Overworld features fully integrated British Sign Language (BSL) alongside a full score.
It is claiming to be the first family musical to be written for deaf audiences.
The show will create a musical experience that is fully accessible for deaf and hearing impaired people, combining BSL with mime, dance, song and puppetry.
Aimed at three to seven-year-olds, the family show has been created by theatre company Krazy Kat Theatre Company and will have its world premiere at the Arena Theatre in Wolverhampton on April 7.
WHAT’S IT ABOUT
It’s a funny and surreal tale of a little boy who travels to The Overworld, The Land of Machinery, seeking the parts to mend the memory of his best friend Oliver the Grandfather Clock.
Come to the Overworld and join the Kats in this fast-moving madcap musical adventure. With puppets, 10 super songs and daft dances, fully integrated Sign Language and showcasing Krazy Kat’s mastery of visual storytelling, it’s bristling with creativity, humour and catchy chunes…
Lasting 60 minutes it’s ideal for ages 3- 7, their families and friends and is suitable for both deaf and hearing audiences.
It is written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood, and devised by Kinny Gardner for Krazy Kat.
The show is directed by Caroline Parker, with design by Chris de Wilde, choreography by Darrell Aldridge and musical arrangements by Sam Somerfeld.
