Building on the success of previous RTÉjr Christmas Shows, RTÉjr is looking to give all of their viewers a cracker of a show.
The performance can take whatever theme or form you like. A more traditional tale with a contemporary spin, or perhaps a show based around a well loved Christmas story or poem. All that they ask is that it has broad appeal, is inclusive, heartwarming, interactive, full of great songs and dancing and above all makes their live audience laugh out loud and leaves them rolling in the aisles!RTÉjr wants their RTÉjr audiences to bellyache from the laughter and not just the selection boxes.
Your proposal for the show should include a number of RTÉjr’s most popular characters/presenters, human & puppet, plus introduce a few new faces.
RTÉjr wants this to be a really magical and unforgettable experience for their viewers at home and in the theatre. They would also like writers with a strong track record in comedy writing. The set and the costumes play a massive part in any Christmas show and they want this to be a really important element of the production. Ideally the company chosen would also have experience in staging large scale productions.
As part of this commission RTÉjr is also looking for content to be created that will tease and promote the main event. Typically RTÉjr has commissioned 12 x 1’ links, but this is up for discussion. Whatever form this content takes, the aim is that it will play out Cross Platform.
Whether watching at home on TV or seated in the audience watching live, the goal is to create an appointment to view special that gives the RTÉjr audience a show to remember!
