Wombat Stew

Mon 26 Jul 2010

From Garry Ginivan Attractions, Australia’s leading producer of musical theatre for children, and following the highly acclaimed national tour of Possum Magic in 2008 which played in over 40 theatres to more than 80,000 patrons, comes a brand new stage adaptation of another Australian classic.

First published in 1984, WOMBAT STEW is a modern day phenomenon in children’s literature and has sold more than 350,000 copies Australia wide. Written by Marcia K Vaughan, with illustrations by Pamela Lofts, the simple story of a dingo who catches a wombat and decides to make wombat stew, has been cleverly developed into a “ true-blue-dinkydi- big-aussie-musical” complete with blobs of mud, very fine feathers, creepy crawlies, fliesss, gum-nuts and a big bubbling billy can!

This new Australian musical has been adapted for the stage by the highly acclaimed team of Gary Young (writer/director) and Paul Keelen (original score). Gary and Paul are highly skilled professionals and have the distinct honour of winning the highly prestigious Pratt Prize for Musical Theatre, not once but twice, including the inaugural prize in 2002 for their musical Sideshow Alley.
