Roald Dahl
Synopsis "Collins Musicals – Roald Dahl's Jack and the Beanstalk: A Gigantically Amusing Musical"
Roald Dahl's Jack and the beanstalk, the musical, has Jack (definitely whiffy) and the friendly farm animals defying the Giant's phenomenal sniffing powers and Jack's greedy mother to come out triumphantly rich – and squeaky clean.As well as starring roles for Jack, his mum, and the Giant, there are dozens of parts for farm animals and market traders – and everyone can sing in the chorus.Thousands of children have taken part in school performances of this riotously funny adaptation of Roald Dahl's irreverent twist on the traditional tale.As with every one of these great Roald Dahl musicals, Jack and the Beanstalk is based on an orchestral commission by the Roald Dahl Foundation. The concert work, from which the schools' musical is derived is by Gergs Pelecis, and schools can use the extracts provided from the orchestral work to enhance their performances.To present a public performance of this musical you will need a performance licence.

(Gales, 1916 - Oxford, 1990) Roald nació en el seno de una familia acomodada de origen noruego. A los cuatro años pierde a su padre y a los siete entra en contacto con el rígido sistema educativo británico que deja reflejado en libros como Matilda y Boy. Terminado el Bachillerato, empieza a trabajar en la compañía en Shell, en África, donde le sorprende la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Después de un breve entrenamiento, se convierte en piloto de la Royal Air Force. Fue destinado a Washington, donde comienza a escribir sus aventuras de guerra. Su entrada en el mundo de la literatura infantil estuvo motivada por los cuentos que narraba a sus cuatro hijos. Su primera obra fue Charlie y la fábrica de chocolate. Escribió también guiones para películas y algunas de sus obras han sido llevadas al cine.
