WE ARE MONSTERS

The entire cast is listed below, but here are the BIG parts:

KC - strong actor and singer
Oozy Lumpa - VERY strong singer (boy or girl)
Jade, Westerly, Vank - all solos
Vanny, Valissa, Vreddy, Varah - all smaller solo parts

Cast List - We are Monsters


We Are Monsters is a very much an “ensemble” show. Although the HUMANS and OOZY LUMPA are the most featured characters, the majority of the show features the WEREWOLF and VAMPIRE ensembles. Within the ensembles are many opportunities for speaking and singing solos.
The majority of parts are gender-neutral, giving you ultimate flexibility.

JADE is the leader of the humans and the biggest monster fanatic.
WESTERLY is the brainy and scientific monster expert.

Norwegian Dance

In third grade we've been reviewing form with Grieg's "Norwegian Dance."  We described our A section as piano and calm, while our B section was forte and crazy!!!  We used the parachute to keep the beat in the A section ("washing machine" movements) and crazy ripples for the B section.
