Cruisin has been performed in many schools and colleges around Australia with productions in the U.S.A, the UK, New Zealand and Canada. King’s College in Guildford UK produced a successful season and St Anne High School in Canada performed the show in July to an appreciative audience. The UK agent, David Waters booked two productions in the UK in 2010 for Barrow in Furness by the A590 Youth Theatre Company and the Highbury Theatre Company.Both were highly successful seasons. In 2011 Must See Musicals in Crewe UK chose Cruisin’ for their summer musical. South Sioux City High School in the USA produced the first US production of Cruisin, while the show has once again been chosen by a number of schools and colleges throughout Australia in 2012.

This is not just another “high school juke box musical” but is a real story about an Italian family coming to terms with and growing up in a very different culture and environment which will resonate with young and old audiences. The music is catchy with rock, Latin and big dance numbers which are exciting to perform with the energetic 12 piece arrangements.

Cruisin includes an all-original musical score and provides a challenge to students and actors from all walks of life.
