Mischief Movie Night In Friday 30 July 2021

Tonight Henry Lewis was hosting as Oscar.

It was a body swap musical set in a bakery called Hot Swap Buns.

Social media asked for awkwardly timed cheer, group can-can at the pivotable moment, and Nick Powers, a vilan who goes around stealing the powers of others.

The bakery welcomes everyone – but don’t get busy with them! It had 2 baking families.

A mother and daughter and a father and son swapped bodies. As the performers looked the same, there was a lot of confusion in the cast trying to work out how they stalled bodies (did they look the same, change consciousness or something else?)

It included a song about puberty and periods, with so eager showing what they knew about the Magna Carta and Latin.
