These school holidays, Blue Mountains Theatre presents the delightful children’s musical Josephine Wants To Dance in addition to a range of fun, heartwarming films.
Josephine Wants To Dance is an hilarious musical stage adaptation of the hugely popular children’s picture book by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley.
An enchanting tale about never giving up on one’s dreams, it follows the story of a young kangaroo Josephine and her quest to become a dancer.
Adapted by Eva Di Cesare, Sandra Eldridge and Tim McGarry from the acclaimed Monkey Baa Theatre Company, this is an intelligent and engaging show that combines brilliant music, costumes, comedy and dance and will appeal to audiences of all ages.
“Wonderfully whimsical and utterly inspiring, Josephine Wants To Dance proves anything is possible if you really want it… A must see for anyone with a sense of wonder” – Broadway World, 2018
Josephine Wants To Dance, Tuesday 9 October, 2pm. Duration: approximately 45mins. Recommended for 4-9 year olds and their families. All tickets are $22.
