Written by husband and wife team, Peter & Kirsten Sham, Toyland tells the story of three squabbling sisters on the night before Christmas. Together, they take a magical journey encountering nearly every myth of childhood including, nasty Bedbugs, “Things” that go bump in the night, and a tap-happy “Boogie” Man! When the Bedbugs abduct the three sisters to Toyland, they find out it’s not such a nice place. Toyland, they quickly discover, is the place where toys go that are lost or mistreated and where bad children are taken to be the “toys” of the evil Toy Master, a mad, Jack-in-the-Box! But this musical fairytale has many more surprises up its sleeve and a very happy ending indeed. Toyland shows how knowledge, friendship, and compassion are the keys to growing up. Featuring many of the world’s most beloved Christmas songs and carols adapted with a rock ’n’ roll twist, Toyland is a holiday musical treat for the whole family! NOW AVAILABLE FOR LICENSING FOR THE 2024 HOLIDAY SEASON! Royalty Package includes the complete mastered Recorded Sound Cues and fully Orchestrated Music Tracks.

Lend Me A Tenor: The Musical is a riotous new musical comedy of mistaken identities and unexpected romance, based on the Tony Award-nominated play. It’s 1934, and opera virtuoso Tito Merelli is about to revive Pagliacci for the ten-year anniversary of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. But when Tito becomes unexpectedly incapacitated, a suitable replacement must be found. Max, the opera director’s sheepish assistant, is charged with the daunting task of finding someone cavalier enough to fill in for the star. Thanks to a menacing soprano, a tenor-struck ingénue, a jealous wife, and the Cleveland Police Department, mayhem, lunacy, and sheer panic ensue, but in the end, the show must always go on! After a celebrated run on London’s West End, Tenor the Musical currently enjoys first-class productions throughout the UK, Germany, Russia, Poland, and in select theaters across the United States!
