Much to the amusement of the audience, there was a surprise appearance on stage from the headteacher, who appeared as a patient of the evil dentist!
The cast sang over 20 songs during the show at the King Oswy Drive school.
The props included a range of different sized plants, ranging from a hand size puppet to a 6ft monster, all with moving parts.
