Society Slump Superstars – a Musical by Joshua Hopton Stewart

Get ready to suspend your disbelief and witness the hilarious debut musical theatre work of Joshua Hopton Stewart. Based on his team’s entry into the 2010 V48Hour Short Film Competition, Society Slump Superstars is a tongue-in-cheek story of a group of high school students who find themselves caught in the very centre of the biggest societal renovation in history! Follow them as they try to adapt to a new way of life where a wavering note, a wrong lyric, or a tap with the wrong foot could be their demise.

Our musical takes place in modern-day, Recession-hit New Zealand. The erratic Prime Minister Potts decides to improve the mood of his country (and his lacklustre ratings) by turning real life into a musical because everyone’s happy in musicals. When the music plays, citizens everywhere must break into song or disappear mysteriously by The Men in White…

Society Slump Superstars is niche theatre company Fresh DaDa’s debut production to be performed at BATS Theatre 8pm, 10 – 14 April, 2012. The cast is made up of 20 enthusiastic Kiwi singers and performers and they are led by Director Joshua Stewart and Choreographer Sam Mcleod (Bloody Broadway 2).

Joshua Stewart was raised in sunny Nelson where he was exposed to music from a young age having learnt the piano at five. He then developed a love of singing which resulted in him being accepted into the New Zealand Secondary Student’s Choir and the New Zealand Youth Choir. He graduates from the New Zealand School of Music in May with a degree in Composition.
