Our musical is based on the animated series by the same name. Beat Bugs (the animated series on NETFLIX) revolves around the lives and adventures of ﬁ ve charming and funny child-like bugs who live in an American-style backyard. First released in 2016, Beat Bugs charmed families with young children with its storytelling, fun characters, and the music of The Beatles.

The characters (the Beat Bugs) live in an overgrown backyard ﬁ lled with fun, music, and adventure. Together with their friends from around the backyard, they explore, invent, have fun, and sing. While they often get into mischief, they always get by with courage, creativity, and a little help from their friends.

There are a lot of pop culture references related to the humor in Beat Bugs. Make sure your cast understands these jokes. Take some time during the rehearsal process to show them or explain to them the references to A CHORUS LINE, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, LES MISÉRABLES, WEST SIDE STORY, The Yardbirds, Joe Cocker, and the 1960’s in general.

Beat Bugs is really about sharing this amazing music with a new generation of young people. It’s so incredibly fun for the audience to hear kids sing these songs. It’s unexpected and very heart warming. It’s important that while learning these songs for your show, your cast should be listening to the actual recordings of all these songs. Hearing the original recordings will help your cast get a better understanding of the feel and style of these songs. Students might ﬁ nd the style of music in this show challenging because of its complex rhythms. Plan a little extra time for music rehearsals, if possible. Keep drilling the rhythms and melodies so your cast can have fun on stage when it’s show time.

Beat Bugs can work with a small cast or a very large one. There are so many features and lots of opportunities for everyone to have a featured moment or two. If you have a large cast, I would suggest separating them out into groups. Not everyone has to be in every musical number or scene. You can split your ensemble into a few smaller groups – Miner Birds, Band Members, and General Insects. There are lots of opportunities for your full cast to be on stage together but having some smaller groups will make your scenes work better as well as allow for fast transitions.

You are going to have a blast with Beat Bugs. Our audiences loved watching their kids in this show and we know yours will too! Let your imagination run wild as you create this world with your cast. We know this music and that sense of wonder and imagination will stay with your cast long after the show is over!
