Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach TYA

Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach TYA
Roald Dahl's fantastical tale of a boy, his insect friends and their amazing journey across the ocean on a giant piece of fruit. (One-Act Version)

Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach is now a Theatre for Young Audiences musical for the whole family to enjoy! Featuring a wickedly tuneful score by the Tony Award-nominated team of Pasek and Paul (Dogfight and A Christmas Story the Musical) and a curiously quirky book by Timothy Allen McDonald (Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka, The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley), critics rave: James and the Giant Peach is a "masterpeach!"

When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that results in a tremendous peach... and launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach – among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities – but, after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the group faces hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements. Thanks to James' quick wit and creative thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family. The dangerous voyage is a success, but the adventure takes a whole new twist once they land on the Empire State Building.

A delightfully offbeat adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl adventure, the creative possibilities with James and the Giant Peach are endless. Actors will love playing the outlandish characters and performing brand new material from one of Broadway's hottest duos.

Why have you removed "Have You Ever Begun to Wonder" and "Middle of a Moment" from the TYA version? Is there a way to get the accompaniment tracks for those songs?

We are disappointed to find out two of the kids' favourite songs are NOT in the TYA version.  Is there a way to get the back track for the two songs and add them to the TYA version?  The only reason we got the TYA version is because we do not have an orchestra, we require a backing track and the regular version has an additional fee for the backing track.

How long is the James and the Giant Peach TYA?

I noticed that James and the Giant Peach Jr is 60 minutes long, while James and the Giant Peach TYA has no note about the time limit. How long is the Young Adult version of James and the Giant Peach?

Can the Director's Guide be purchased with the TYA version?
I saw the promo kit on jatgp.com and the sample Director's guide for the Jr. version has fantastic notes that would still be useful for our company's TYA production. Can this guide be made available to us even if we aren't doing the Jr. version?
