The Wolf's Tale

Following the success of our mini-musicals with Greenside Choir (Happily Ever After, and On Christmas Day), we decided to write another one. However, this time we wrote it for a smaller group: Greenside Consort. 

We mused over various different fairy tales, and saw a common character: the big bad wolf. The character appears in so many stories, but is never the focus. What if he isn’t really bad, just thoroughly misunderstood? What if the wolf isn’t even male? We thought it was time for the wolf to take the stage and tell her story.

The mini-musical focuses around Wolfie, as she confides in the music group how she’s spent her whole life being misjudged and written about by an evil reporter. The stories she tells are sung, accompanied by instrumentalists, and are acted out by the younger members who play various roles. 

 We’re incredibly impressed with how well it’s all going, especially as we’ve only been rehearsing it for 45 minutes a week for the last few months; the brilliant progress is helped by everyone’s commitment and enthusiasm. We may be a tad biased, but we think the performance will be exceptional, and the members of Greenside Consort should be very proud of themselves.

We’re aiming to film The Wolf’s Tale before summer, and it will be uploaded to Greenside Music’s YouTube channel.
