Musical theatre for children - half way through!

Here are the films of you performing your draft musicals. You need to watch your own musical and then post a comment. Make some SWOT comments that help you to identify real areas of strength and places where improvements can be made. What does it feel like to watch yourself? You may have to watch it more than once in order to get over your embarrassment and giggles and make objective comments about your own work.
