One for the whole family, Josephine Wants To Dance is about a kangaroo – who loves to dance.
The show is recommended for mature audiences 15 years and over. It may contain coarse language and adult themes. The line-up is subject to change.
From the award-winning team behind Pete The Sheep comes this vibrant children’s production, Josephine Wants To Dance – a delightfully funny live theatre experience that tells of the importance of believing in yourself and realising your dreams can be seen at the Capitol Theatre on Thursday, September 13 at 6pm.
One for the whole family, Josephine Wants To Dance is about a kangaroo – who loves to dance. Her little brother, Joey, tells her that 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 learns that there is another way to dance – ballet. As the ballet company prepares to perform, Josephine sneaks into town to peer through the window as the dancers rehearse, watching for hours and hours as they perfect their routine.
Then Josephine goes home and practices all night, all alone, until she knows the dance by heart. She spun, she swirled and pirouetted dreams… and at the end she always curtsied.
The recommended age is four years plus and their families (September 14 shows at 10.30am and 12.30pm have sold out).
