Tied to the Tracks will leave you tied up in knots... of laughter! This action-packed old time musical western melodrama could be the most tuneful and wildest ever to hit your stage. Join stalwart Sheriff Billy Bold and the delicate Dakota Melody as they resist the evil machinations of Silias Scavenger and Wild Prairie Rose in this shoot-’em-up, round-’em-up extravaganza. Audience members will be hitched to their seats as they are powerless in helping our beloved heroine, bound to a railway track, as she helplessly watches a locomotive race towards her. Only one man can snatch her from this unworthy fate and bring justice to a thriving territory.

Welcome to the Kingdom of Crescendo, a musical place to live! You’ve arrived just in time for the Mourning of the Lost Voice. King and Queen Coda’s daughter Rapunzel was stolen away by the Evil Witch long ago, and Crescendo has never been the same since. When King and Queen Coda develop a taste for a magical fruit, Bradley Baker must save the day! Alongside Bart the Bard, he travels into the woods to find the sought-after berries. Along the way, they meet Unicorns but also meet some rock-obsessed Witches in Training and the awfully noisy Punk Rocks. Will our heroes be able to discover Rapunzel’s true identity and return her to Crescendo?
