Notes:  The history of show-dance and the chorus line around the world.  In the early days Bright Thoughts acquired the rights to a wonderful book The Natural History of The Chorus Girl by Derek and Julia Parker who both worked with us in creating the format for which we then could develop the show in a number of ways including as a 90 minute spectacular, or as 10 x one hour programmes.

​The development was with Goldcrest Films & TV, designed to be a multiple partner co-production and marketed worldwide.  Read the intro narrative from the original promotional material.

Why repurpose and restructure?

The ideas and concepts of the above shows were originated by Neil Anthony and Bryan Izzard and although they may have been originally tailored for a different audience, many remain as relevant today.

With renewed interest in the Bright Thoughts product there is a great potential for some projects to be reimagined and restructured for new audiences and with different markets in-mind.
