After sell-out seasons across the world, including London’s West End and Broadway, The Gruffalo returns to Australia in an all-new production at Capitol Theatre on March 5 with three performances; 10.30am, 12.30pm and 6pm.
The Gruffalo is the first of many entertaining productions in the Education & Families Series in Season 2019.
Join Mouse on a daring adventure through the deep, dark wood in this magical, musical adaptation of the classic picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.
Searching for hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the party-mad Snake.
Will the story of the terrifying Gruffalo save Mouse from ending up as dinner for these hungry woodland creatures? After all, there’s no such thing as a Gruffalo – is there?
This show has songs, laughs and scary fun for children and their grown-ups…
The recommended age is three years plus and their families.
The Sapphires
March 7: 7.30pm
Don’t miss this new production of Australia’s beloved modern classic, The Sapphires.
Staged at Capitol Theatre on Thursday, March 7 at 7.30pm, you are sure to enjoy every moment of this multiple award-winning musical play.
Embarking on a national tour spreading the raw energy, fun and emotion of this story to audiences Australia-wide, this story of four young Aboriginal women from regional Australia, who like singing country music, suddenly get the chance to change their tune and their lives.
Wearing uniforms of sequins, armed only with microphones they find themselves trying to spread joy in the hell that is the Vietnam War.
The Sapphires is a funny, heart-warming tale inspired by the true story of writer Tony Briggs’ mother.
Briggs will direct his play in a version he promises will be the most intimate telling of the story yet – the incredible journey of a singing group of four Yorta Yorta Women, who sing Motown soul hits against the backdrop of personal change and massive social upheaval.
It is energetic, fun and engaging theatre.
The recommended age is seven plus. The show includes some adult themes, simulated warfare and a small amount of coarse language.
