What does Dancing Bear, Dancing Bear sound like?

By Gameshow with Hannah Ringham.  Here's a taste of Hannah's voiceover, as she watches men get dressed/get funky/get aggressive on stage.

Dancing Bear, Dancing Bear 2

Dancing Bear, Dancing Bear 1

The lovers wake up and wonder what that was all about.  They seem to remember running away, something about a wood, falling in love and out again.  They all live happily ever after, but it still feels a bit weird.

Losing Game (Oscar Wood - A Midsummer Night's Dream)

What it says on the tin.  This cheeky tune bounced back in different guises throughout the show. 

Lovers Theme (Oscar Wood - A Midsummer Night's Dream)

This number came towards the end, when the lovers fall back to sleep.  The actors accompanied their own lullaby (on kazoos and glockenspiel).

Lullaby of Electroland (Oscar Wood - A Midsummer Night's Dream)

This was the first song of the show - once the actors had welcomed the audience, they accompanied this with glockenspiel, ukelele and kazoos.

Night Before Xmas (Oscar Wood - A Midsummer Night's Dream)

Here's a dark and dreamy theme for the fairies.  We wanted a sense of an unreal world and spells that put you to sleep.

Rhythmetic (Oscar Wood - A Midsummer Night's Dream)

The magic flower is so important it gets its own theme tune - something mishchievous and slightly sinister, playing with the sounds of a music box.

Toy Organ (Oscar Wood - A Midsummer Night's Dream)

Gameshow Jingle (Oscar Wood)
