Welcome to the spookiest courtroom in town, where things aren't quite what they seem and the case is anything but ordinary!

All Rise For Halloween – A Spooky Kooky Courtroom Musical is an original Halloween musical created especially for Far Far Away Theatre.

When a rather unusual case lands in Judge Jackie Lantern's courtroom, it's up to the court to get to the bottom of things. With a collection of spooky suspects, mysterious goings-on and some rather questionable witnesses, the courtroom soon descends into chaos!

Featuring witches, vampires, ghosts, monsters and plenty of larger-than-life characters, this fun-filled musical takes audiences on a hilarious Halloween adventure. But will justice be served, or will the courtroom be left in complete disarray?

With catchy original songs, comedy, colourful characters and plenty of audience participation, this is no ordinary trip to the theatre. Audiences even received their very own evidence bags so they could get involved and become part of the courtroom action!

An Original Far Far Away Theatre Creation

At Far Far Away Theatre, we love creating our own stories, and All Rise For Halloween was another exciting opportunity for us to bring something completely original to the stage.

The show was written by Jenna Dabbs, with all the original music and songs composed by Matthew Dabbs. Together, Jenna and Matthew created the entire production from the ground up, developing the characters, storyline, comedy, musical numbers and all the spooky surprises along the way.

From the first ideas on paper to seeing the finished production come to life on stage at The Montgomery, Sheffield, it was a real labour of love.

Creating original musical theatre is at the heart of what we do at Far Far Away Theatre. We love giving audiences something new and unexpected, while providing our cast with exciting characters and opportunities to shine.

All Rise For Halloween was a wonderful example of what can happen when imagination, creativity and a whole lot of Halloween mischief come together!
