POSSUM MAGIC, Live Show in Melbourne

Monkey Baa Theatre Company is delighted to bring the magical stage adaptation of Mem Fox and Julie Vivas’ Possum Magic to Geelong Arts Centre and Monash Performing Arts Centres.

Possum Magic, Live Show in Melbourne

Based on the book by Mem Fox and Julie Vivas Possum Magic has captivated young readers for generations and this magical production has already enchanted over 170,000 audience members across Australia.

Featuring spellbinding magic, puppetry and original music, Monkey Baa’s award-winning team has turned the whimsical world of the book into an exciting live experience for audiences aged 3-8 and their families.

Lovingly adapted by Monkey Baa’s Artistic Director Eva Di Cesare and Co-Founder Sandra Eldridge, Possum Magic features Will Bartolo, Sarah Greenwood, Josh Virgona and Sarah Woods.

Audiences will meet Grandma Poss, who loves making magic. She makes wombats blue and kookaburras pink. She makes dingoes smile and emus shrink. But one day, when danger arrives in the form of a snake, Grandma uses her most magical spell to make Hush invisible.

Hush has many wonderful adventures. But being invisible isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and Hush longs to see herself again. One problem. Grandma Poss can’t find the spell to make Hush visible again. And then she remembers… this particular magic requires something more, something special, something to do with food… people food!

Join Grandma Poss and Hush as they embark on a whimsical journey to cities around Australia to find the food that makes Hush visible again.

Monkey Baa has assembled an astounding team of creatives to help bring the book to life including production designer Emma Vine (Spamalot), award-winning composer and sound designer Nate Edmondson (The Very Hungry Caterpillar), and magic and illusion designer Adam Mada (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child).
