Scaley the Snake from AnimAlphabet The Musical

TREBLE CLEF ISLAND IS A WONDERFUL LAND OF MUSIC, SONG AND DANCE, BUT THERE’S A PROBLEM. CALANDO THE DASTARDLY DUCK HAS ESCAPED AND IS THREATENING TO STEAL SOUND FOREVER.



JOIN COLIN THE COCKATOO ON A QUEST TO FIND THE ISLAND ANIMALS AND THWART CALANDO’S PLANS. A WALTZING ELEPHANT, A REGGAE FROG, A GEORDIE JAZZ GIRAFFE AND A RAPPING DONKEY, ARE JUST SOME OF THE MUSICAL-MISFITS COCKATOO WILL MEET ALONG THE WAY.

WITH AN ISLAND FULL OF BRIGHT CHARACTERS, BOLD PUPPETS AND UNFORGETTABLY CATCHY SONGS - WRITTEN BY THE AL AND SAM OF THE HOOSIERS

IT’S A FAMILY MUSICAL UNLIKE ANY OTHER.

Scaley The Snake lives on the bottom line of the musical Stave. Scaley is wise and very old, a lot older than she looks! Scaley helps Cockatoo find his way during his most desperate hour.

To the Cast and Team of Les Miserables

Les Miserables wasn't a commercial success but theatrically it was bloody amazing. To move the audience the way you did, I have never witnessed anything like it. You took them on a journey and it was top quality.

We had audience who had nothing to do with barta returning, bringing their friends with them and being equally astounded the 2nd time round. Standing ovations and tears, guys, you rocked the Rhoda.

Cast and team you are absolutely amazing. Thank you to each and every one of you and to everyone who came to watch. Les Miserables was a very very special show. 

Well done all x

Giraffe loves having no rules. He likes jazz you see. He does whatever he likes. He's the Geordie Jazz Giraffe, and he's not having a laugh.
