1. It's a blatent Harry Potter riff. It's a magic school, apparently. My role is, basically, Plot Exposition!Teacher, where I explain how they've got to go and do a project on the history of the school. Off kiddies go. (cue the Saved By The Bell dance)
2. Three main kiddies toddle off, discuss what they're going to do, and go to the attic. Which I forbade them to do. But anyway. (cue spiders, ghosts, skeltons and mice dances. Becuase we needed to get the nursery classes in as early as possible)
3. They find attic. They find trunk in attic. They find ballet stuff in attic, one does a spell, dress comes to life (kinda) and we have a ballet solo. Kids decide to see entire ballet. Another spell. Cue Big Ballet with about 30 odd people in it.
4. End of ballet. Kids can't get back from the ballet. Build a time machine. (Plot hole ahoy!) Travel various bits of time, with dialogue between...:
5. Victorian times. Cute kids wandering around and dancing out of time to Feed The Birds and other Mary Poppins atrocities.
6. Merseybeat section. Yellow Submarine, Beat Goes On, Let It Be, etc.
7. Interval.
8. Surface Of The Moon. Me in a Bag. Also Men In Black and 8 year olds doing ballet about stars, or something similiar.
9. Billy Elliot bit, referring to the 1980's and the strikes. Miners Tap for me (no music, just us taping. Quite good.), plus We Like To Boogie (cos it's on the film). It then leads onto a brief Swan Lake section, explanation being that it's Billy as an adult. *shrugs* We have a lad for this bit. Yay us.
10. Broadway. This is a bad section for me, since have a tap (Lullaby On Boradway) and two moderns (Hot Honey Rag from Chicago and There She Goes from Fame). Also other stuff with the grade just elow us. i.e. my sister.
11. End-Of-Term Carnival section. Mexican type thing, Aye Carumba! from Aye Carumba, Rhythm Of The Night from Moulin Rouge, and finally the finale.
End.
So, the Mcgonagall effect is, basically, to continue the shabby Harry Potter-esque thing we have going on. Makes sense? (Don't worry if not, don't understand it myself)
