The magic that is Peace Child begins in the Royal Albert Hall – not a normal place to premiere a new Youth Musical, but nothing about the Peace Child Story is normal. It starts with its six, extraordinary Founders – six separate roots, coming together to form a single living organism. Others, of course, co-created the story – not least the thousands of children, young people, directors, choreographers and musicians who co-wrote and performed the shows. But the Royal Albert Hall is symbolic of the aspiration of Peace Child: from the very start, we were determined to make a BIG impact and – as the RAH Archive of scripts, flyers, programmes and reviews from that first performance shows – we more or less succeeded.
