Based on the book by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley

Adapted by Eva Di Cesare, Sandie Eldridge and Tim McGarry

She’s bold. She’s bouncy. She’s back!

A hilarious musical about the importance of believing in yourself and realising your dreams and… a dancing kangaroo!

 

Based on the picture book by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley, this delightful musical is a must see!

 

Josephine is a kangaroo who loves to dance. Her little brother, Joey, tells her kangaroos don’t dance, they hop – but Josephine continues to point her toes and leap through the air. When a ballet troupe comes to the sleepy town of Shaggy Gully, Josephine desperately wants to dance like the ballerinas in pink tutus and silk ballet shoes.

“A complete delight.” Jo Litson, Daily Telegraph

“Wonderfully whimsical and utterly inspiring…a must see for anyone with a sense of wonder.” Jade Kops, Broadway World

On the day of the first performance the Ballet Company is in trouble. The prima ballerina twists her ankle and the understudy has a splinter in her toe. Who can dance the lead role? Josephine’s talents are called upon to help save the day. Can she do it, and more importantly, does it matter that she’s a kangaroo?

 

Recommended ages: 4-9 and their families
