Germs
The most popular Cenarth Fox musical ever. Inside a human—what a set—a group of germs in amazing costumes spread disease. The human fights back with medicine. It’s a fight to the death. But there’s an enemy in the ranks of the germs. It’s a bloodless coup. Fabulous score and praise from around the world. Some schools have done it twice! It’s even been staged by the staff of a public hospital!

Plot / Synopsis
The action takes place inside a human's body as some germs spread infection. The human fights back. It's a terrific struggle, a fight to the death - literally.
But all is not well amongst the germs. Some are rebellious and believe their leader has some dark and terrible secret. There is talk of a coup - a bloodless coup!
The story builds to a gripping climax. We do not know what will happen until the very last moment. Germs is infectious!
Setting
Your performing space becomes a part of the human's body, perhaps the duodenum. It need not be realistic. Instead any type of wild and colourful backdrop and props can be used. There should be several hidden exits which enable the germs to enter/exit without delay. The leader's shelter and an alarm are essential.
Use raised platforms [different levels] and, if possible, a fireman's pole or slide for spectacular movement. More detailed suggestions are provided in the free Production Notes. One of the benefits of staging Germs is the flexibility of the set.
