Girl with a Torch musical
Julie the girl is all alone at home with only her teddy for comfort. After a quarrel, her mum and dad seem to have disappeared and she is now left without anyone to care for her.
With Big Ted’s support, Julie sets out to search for something that’s lost; a secret treasure, a long lost desire; a thing she cannot remember. The Creatures of the Night, who are working for Sally the Witch, turn up on her way to taunt her, but equipped with gifts from Martha the Fairy she discovers she can tackle these difficulties!
The Creatures of the Night say Sally the Witch (who works for the council by day but uses her magic by night) kidnaps the abandoned Street Children and uses them to work her wicked schemes.
Will Julie be snatched up like the other street children? Or will she rise up to the challenge and manage to reach her Grandma’s shack in time for Christmas? And will she finally find that mysterious thing she has been looking for?

looking here, looking there
Looking here, looking there,
high and low, and everywhere;
this thing you are looking for
can’t be found without a clue.
It’s not a man, it’s not a child;
it’s not a creature from the wild.
It is a thing which can’t be found
without a light.
This light is not a candle light.
It’s not a torch that
shines so bright.
But it’s a kindly thing
that warms the heart.
So go and search
but don’t be fooled.
You won’t be sure that
you have found it,
till you are settled
by the hearth
of a simple shack,
on a darkened night.
high and low, and everywhere;
this thing you are looking for
can’t be found without a clue.
It’s not a man, it’s not a child;
it’s not a creature from the wild.
It is a thing which can’t be found
without a light.
This light is not a candle light.
It’s not a torch that
shines so bright.
But it’s a kindly thing
that warms the heart.
So go and search
but don’t be fooled.
You won’t be sure that
you have found it,
till you are settled
by the hearth
of a simple shack,
on a darkened night.
my name is smarter
My name is hope and courage
My heart is love and joy
But over here they call me Martha
Not aware my name is smarter
I am the bearer of good news
To those who fail to grasp the truth
That life is fun, tell fear to run
Where it could do no harm to any
I’ve come laden with gifts so smart
To help you not to fall apart
To guide you in the maze of life
Till you face victory.
My heart is love and joy
But over here they call me Martha
Not aware my name is smarter

That life is fun, tell fear to run
Where it could do no harm to any
I’ve come laden with gifts so smart
To help you not to fall apart
To guide you in the maze of life
Till you face victory.
This mysterious thing
1.
This thing we’re looking for
Are we going to find, tell me?
This thing we’re looking for
Are we going to find tell me?
Tell me, tell me?
This mysterious thing
That no one has seen
This mysterious thing
We all seek to find
Tell me.
2.
Is this thing hidden there
right under our nose, tell me?
Is this thing tucked away
right inside our heart, tell me?
tell me, tell me?
This mysterious thing
We all wish to have
This mysterious thing
We’ve lost long ago,
Tell me.
3.
This little voice inside, says
we must go and look for it
This little voice inside
says we must go and look
for it, for it, for it.
With my torch in hand
I’ll seek and I’ll search
With some hope inside
I’ll look for with trust then
find it
This thing we’re looking for
Are we going to find, tell me?
This thing we’re looking for
Are we going to find tell me?
Tell me, tell me?
This mysterious thing
That no one has seen
This mysterious thing
We all seek to find
Tell me.

With some hope inside
I’ll look for with trust then
