As part of ‘The Shows We Used To Know’ at Crazy Coqs, we also create a brand new musical (in only 2 months!) based on audience suggestions from the previous show and inspired by 100 years of West End musicals.
Suggestions include the location, the time period, characters and song titles.
All words and music by Robert Hazle & Helena Northcote.
Casts include: Wendy Carr, Jade-May Alkema, Joe Morose, Finlay McKillop (Get Stuffed!), Jenna Augen (A Spell By The Sea) as well as Helena Northcote and Robert Hazle
(Please bear in mind these are scratch concert performances and sometimes they don’t quite go to plan!)
A SPELL BY THE SEA – Live Recording (August 2026)
GET STUFFED! – Live Recording (May 2026)
STEAM AHEAD! – Live Recording (February 2026)
