Cook's Tours

Open your mind to a new world of countries and cultures. How? By taking Cook's Tours! Thomas Cook, the first travel agen t, takes us on a journey of discovery through North America to The Nile and the Pyramids via Paris, Vienna and Dublin. It shows how he gave ordinary working people the chance to see countries and experience cultures that would enrich their lives forever. We're still reaping the benefits!

Thomas Cook himself is the narrator, and the songs are:

Turn to Drink
Temperance March
The First Excursion
Almost a Dream
Scotland
The Great Exhibition
Paris, Vienna and Dublin
America
The New World
Hymn to the Holy Land
The Nile
Open the World

Cook's Tours can be performed as a cantata, simply sung and narrated without staging, or could be staged with costumes and sets, with dancing and drama. The first performance took place on the stage of the McDonalds Theatre in the Millennium Dome in 2000, conducted by Shirley Court and Sophie Pascall.
