Name of a musical performed in a cool

[darqen]

Hey all, I'm new here and was wondering if anyone could help. When I was in school around the end of the 80s/ early 90s there was a production done and I can't for the life of me rmember its name. I was very young and don't have many memories of it but from what I remember all the characters were animals (maybe birds) and it ended with the hero being in a palace with the king pending death or exile or something and then a robin redbreast runs in with some urgent message which saves the hero (almost like an old herald). Sorry this isn't much to go on but any help would be appreciated

Dr Doolittle ?

Was the show a pantomime ?

[Seriously]

Just So (Stiles and Drewe)?

I don't suppose it could have been a production of Aristophanes' The Birds? There was a 2002 version in London: www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/theatre-dance/reviews/the-birds-national-theatre-lyttelton-london-186682.html

Hi Darqen and welcome to the board! Do you remember where this was performed (in London, or at a regional theatre or in a school?) and was it a professional production or AmDram? And was it a musical or a play? I'm struggling to think of anything that matches your description so far!
