Successful speciality acts will be added to a forum where regular paid work will be advertised and new exciting opportunities are created. 

Lets hear from Lucy Penketh about her time with Manic and The SHOW Girlz
‘I have been with Manic Stage Productions since June 2013, Manic has provided me with the opportunity to work in a professional environment aswell as to maintain my level of dancing inbetween other dance contracts abroad. 

The weekly professional classes help me to keep building upon my training, increase my flexibility, push myself to pick up routines quickly and remember any we have previously learnt.  Manic has such a wide variety of dances and shows to offer their clients you need to have a good memory to remember them all! 
I have taken part in Michael Jackson tribute shows, South Coast Fashion Week launch, The New Southsea Show, Charity events at the Kings Theatre, A Burlesque show at Grosvenor G Casino, Stilt Walking and Promotional work for Fontwell Race Course. Stilt Walking and a Showgirl Performance at the Spinnaker Tower and Mary Rose Museum. I regularly model for Bridal and Wedding shows and my favourite so far was a Halloween performance with the one and only Miss G!
Manic really is a great team to be part of, I look forward to class every Tuesday and thoroughly enjoy every performance opportunity I have had.
So come along and join the fun! 2014 is going to be a great year for the team and if you love to dance and get paid then this opportunity is NOT to be missed

Looking Back On A Fantastic Year

2013 Round Up

I thought it fitting to spend a moment looking back on an incredible year. We are already well in to January 2014 and have lots of amazing bookings coming in thick and fast! 
Before we tell you all about what the future has in store for us lets take a little trip down memory lane!

Read about our highlights of a wonderful year

January
We started last year with an exciting nomination and shortlist for The Business Excellence Awards which gave us our enthusiastic and very determined approach to grow, gain more clients and evolve Manic Stage Productions even further throughout 2013. We are excited to say that 12 months later we could not be happier with our achievements.


February
Theres no better way to grow than to add more wonderful talented individuals to the team! From our auditions we certainly gained some very loyal, beautiful, professional, dancers, models and speciality acts and artists who we are pleased to say are all still with us to start a very busy 2014 :-)



March
After a successful few years supplying our fun Manic Kids Dance Parties to Havant Horizon Leisure Centre it was amazing to be asked to replicate this magical formula at their busy sister centre in Waterlooville. Our relationship with both venues is still going strong and we are looking forward to another busy party year.



April
A highlight of 2013 was being approached by Fontwell Racecourse to supply them with entertainment, promotional staff and much much more. The relationship has grown from strength to strength and we already have many more dates booked in the diary to make 2014 race days even bigger and better! Did you know they spotted us on stage at The Guildhall when we performed for last years Business Excellence Awards!



May
With all these exciting new developments taking shape through the early part of last year we decided it was the right time to move into a new phase and create a head quarters for our busy business. We took up residency in the iconic Clock Tower on Castle Road! This decision was by far the best one ever made and has really helped to make Manic more visible to potential clients.



June
Manic get to perform and work with some fantastic acts and artist but it was a great pleasure to share the stage with a celebrity back in June. Amy Childs was lovely and we got to entertain her and the CAN Management team along with Lee Stafford at the prestigious Beauty Awards!



July
With our sights set on South Coast domination it was a massive tick in the box when we were booked to entertain at the South Coast Fashion Week Launch Party in Bournemouth. Check out the team in this VIDEO of the event.



August 
The much loved and very much missed Southsea Show made an incredible come back in August last year after a 7 year absence and Manic Stage Productions were involved in its success! Nicole helped produce the Saturday Night Seaside Special which pinnacled the 1st day of fun family entertainment and featured our entertainment team The SHOW Girlz.
Heres a VIDEO of its highlights.



September
Our expertise is often called upon across the city for many events, workshops, after school clubs and much more. One thing we love to get asked to do is help judge at talent shows across the South Coast and discover some of the publics hidden talents. Grosvenor Casino talent contest was full of variety and fun and the team found it really very difficult to pick a winner.



October
Due to the success of our input to the Southsea Show we were heavily encouraged to start producing more live entertainment events through the city. We had successfully proved that we had the knowledge, contacts and talent to pull some fabulous evenings off and so we set to work on our 1st (of hopefully many) themed nights!



November
One thing that will always be important to Manic and the team is giving something back to the community who have always supported us! We do this by regularly performing for charity events across the year. Children in Need is a national event and it is always a great honour to be involved in. You can imagine our delight when our performance was filmed for the live broadcast on the BBC!



December
Who would have thought that over the space of just one year we would established ourselves so firmly within the corporate and business world. The year culminated with our team being involved in some very established events including The Shaping Portsmouth Conference, Global Entrepreneur Week and The National Business Show.




Wow well what can I say? Its been an incredible year for Manic Stage Productions and the whole team! We have grown in so many ways and we can't wait for all the exciting promotions, performances and master classes 2014 already has lined up for us! 
Hard work, commitment and integrity really do pay off ....oh and having the best team of super loyal, beautiful and talented individuals of course always helps #manicteamlove Thank you to our many clients, friends and our army of manic ambassadors your support, belief and constant opportunities are truly overwhelming! 
Lastly non of this would have ever been possible without a friendship that has already spanned well over a decade..... nothing is impossible when you have your best friend as your business partner! Heres to a prosperous and happy 2014

Charity - Doing our Bit


These past few months have literally been ... MANIC!! 
But that didn't stop us finding time to give a little something back. The team really do enjoy working at charity events across the city and often give up time to support and perform at charity events and shows. 
Its great to see just what a little time, effort and generosity can do.
Back in early November we performed with the much loved ‘Fabulous Miss G at her Frocked up in Horror event raising money for Portsmouth Breast Friends. 


We have been dancing behind Miss G and her amazing team for the past 5 years now and each show gets better and better. This time Miss G scared the audience and sent chills and thrills through the guests with a Halloween themed show. 


Nicole & Matt, creative directors of Manic picked some great numbers to dance too, they interpreted the theme perfectly. Tracks included hits from ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ 'Cabaret` and the well known song ‘Candyman’. 

These numbers went down a treat with the guests, take a little look at a couple of video clips here!

As always Miss G put on an unforgettable show and The SHOW Girlz added their usual sparkly stamp. Naturally the evening was full of cracking costumes, high flying kicks, splits, song and dance. And no Miss G show would be the same with out her cheeky audience participation section! 


The finale of this show was ‘The Timewarp!’.... Unexpected gents were invited up on to the stage to be transformed into Rocky Horror style Sweet Transvestites and partnered up with our girls to end the show with a great fun filled number The Time Warp.  


A few weeks later Nicole hosted an hour of ‘The Rowans Hospice, Dance-A-Thon’
Taking to the stage at 10pm for her one hour slot, Nicole proved popular at this late night event, teaching some Grease themed routines to some very willing, energetic dancers, with lots of stamina. 

Within this 6 hour dance-a-thon the group were most definitely put through their paces. Being musical theatre themed it seemed a great opportunity to dust off everyones inner Danny and Sandy and go Grease Lightning with all the girls and guys on this not so Summer Night! Everyone loved getting into partners and boogieing on down to The Hand-Jive! All 75 guests did so well and everyone had a great time and certainly enjoyed this Grease themed hour! 



Verity is the spice of life and next up was a charity event for The Rainbow Centre held at the iconic Spinnaker Tower, aptly named ‘Cocktails In The Clouds’. We proved no matter where we are, be it on the ground, up in clouds or even on glass floor hundreds of feet in the air Manic Stage Productions can always put on a sensational show! 


With Christmas just around the corner lots of children’s charities are hosting fun filled christmas parties and the Manic party host team have been on hand to help. These fabulous events give the children a chance to enjoy a couple of hours of magical christmas sprit, play games, sing and dance as well as enjoy exciting surprises after a year of hard work and sometime serious illness. 


We love meeting these special little youngsters and get such pleasure seeing them all excited for Christmas time. 


Finally, for the third year running we took to the Kings Theatre stage to perform for the amazing charity The BBC’s Children In Need. It is with out doubt one of our favorite things to be a part of each year and we are honored every time we are invited back to perform. 


This year our good friend Pudsey bear asked us to open AND close the show! This meant the team had to pull out all of the stops and we certainly did just that! 
For our 1st appearance on stage we wowed the packed out audience with a 15 minute Circus themed medley and even brought our fantastic stilt walker with us!


As a complete contrast the finale of the night was our smooth, slick, Vegas medley featuring the super talented Jamie Riley and our girls in fabulous feathers. Jamie had the audience on their feet with his rendition of New York New York and the whole cast joined him on stage for a show stopping kick line.


As always the show was a true success and a great pleasure to be a part of. 


If you are planning a charity event please do not hesitate to contact us for our discounted charity prices. I am sure we can help in some way and would love to be part of your efforts to raise money for such great causes.

Elevating business at London Olympia


‘There’s no BUSINESS like Show Business!!’

For the last few days of November we packed up our feathers and lashes and travelled up to the big smoke. We had been booked to work at The Business Show, 2013 at London’s famous venue, Kensington Olympia.
The SHOW Girlz were there to promote stand 522 and their cloud based business management system. It was a great chance to show off just how our speciality acts, skills and personality can draw new clients to any business, no matter what field it is in.  



Amongst 1000’s of stands showcasing their business and corporate ideas I can assure you we stood high above the rest! Up on our stilts we could be seen from all corners of the massive exhibition centre handing out iTEM leaflets. 


To add to the unique promotional approach our girlz were dressed up differently every hour including sailors, showgirls, flapper girls, bunnies and many many more through out each day. 


Our constant costume changes and stilt walking definitely attracted the desired attention. Crowds formed round the stand for pictures and discussions about us and to say we managed to get the stand noticed is an understatement. 


We even managed to get interviewed by 2 film crews :-)


You know us by now, we love the attention and had a great time over the two days. Promotion and performance is what we do and we loved being a part of the iTEM team. 
We take great pride in our work and helping make everyone aware of the cloud based business management system ‘ITEM’ that we were promoting was so much fun.
James the director had this to say "Absolutely legendary work by Nicole and her girls, thank you so much!" 

Our promotional team and skills will definitely be remembered and if you think The SHOW Girlz could help give a little glitz and glam to your business, do not hesitate to get in touch. Our team is personally managed and picked to suit the individual needs of you the client. Nicole and Matt have many years experience in the industry and know exactly how to draw a crowd. 

Let Manic Stage Productions do what we do best and then you and your colleagues will be free to concentrate on the business you have worked so hard to build.

We would love to be your chosen promotional team and fun filled brand ambassadors, The SHOW Girlz will really make your business endeavours unique.
