Performance overiew
A Rose Original Production with Nicoll Entertainment, Lowry, Northern Stage, Unicorn Theatre, and MAST Mayflower Studios.
An empowering and chuckle-out-loud story about embracing change – whether we like it or not. “In a wonderful place, at the breaking of dawn, where the breezes were soft and the sunshine was warm, a place where the creatures ran wild and played free…A Koala called Kevin clung to a tree”.
Join Kevin, King of the staying-still-kings, and his friends the wombats and kangaroos as they learn that “life can be great when you try something new!”
Based on the multi-million copy selling book by Rachel Bright & Jim Field published by Hachette Children’s Group, this brand-new adaptation for stage is directed by Emma Earle (Oi Frog & Friends), with music and lyrics by Eamonn O’Dwyer.
Suitable for ages 3+.
