ON  THE RIVER, WHERE FOLK HAVE LIVED FOREVER...

BACKGROUND

In 2004 we were asked by Sevenoaks Playhouse to create a new musical version of Kenneth Grahame's immortal story.
It was our first major musical together and was the Playhouse's most successful show to date.

Listen to On The River, the opening number.

LICENSING

Wind In The Willows is available for amateur and professional groups to perform.
The original cast had 7 Men and 2 Women and a chorus of children, but the show is very flexible with more than 20 solo speaking/singing parts.
