A tutu-tastic new musical will pirouette its way into The Art House Wyong on August 20 and 21.
For the first time in seven years, Josephine Wants to Dance is returning to theatres, ready to charm a whole new generation into believing in themselves.
Based on the beloved Australian picture book by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley, Josephine Wants to Dance tells the story of a curious kangaroo with a passion for ballet.
While her fellow roos prefer hopping in the outback, Josephine dreams of dancing en-pointe, and she’s not about to let little things like paws or a tail get in her way.
With heartfelt songs, laugh-out-loud moments, and some unforgettable characters, this joyful production is a perfect outing for families and school groups alike.
It encourages all children to believe in themselves, follow their dreams, and celebrate what makes them unique.
From Monkey Baa Theatre Company, Josephine Wants to Dance was one of the first children’s shows ever staged at The Art House, making the return a special moment for the performing arts centre.
“Josephine is ready to leap into the hearts of Coast kids once more and we couldn’t be happier to have her back,” The Art House Executive Director Anne-Marie Heath said.
“This story celebrates creativity, determination and the joy of doing what you love, and we can’t wait to share it with a new generation of kids, families and schools from across the region.”
Josephine Wants to Dance will have four performances at The Art House Wyong: at 10am and 6pm on Wednesday, August 20, and 10am and noon on Thursday, August 21.
