Monkey Baa Theatre Company Presents Josephine Wants To Dance

Monkey Baa Theatre Company, the award-winning theatre company for young people, is bringing Josephine Wants to Dance, back to the stage these school holidays! 

Monkey Baa Theatre Company Presents Josephine Wants To Dance 

Josephine Wants To Dance is a hilarious musical about self-discovery, ballet, hip-hop and...a dancing kangaroo. Based on the beloved picture book by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley, this delightful show is a must-see for Sydney families!

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.

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? 

Josephine will spin, swirl and pirouette her way into young hearts as she shares the importance of believing in yourself and realising your dreams.

Perfect for little theatre lovers and their families, this hilarious new work by Monkey Baa brings to life a tale about a bush kangaroo you’ll never forget!
