From Australia’s leading producer of musical theatre for children comes a brand new "gooey, brewey, yummy, chewy” Aussie musical for kids.

The Judith Wright Centre and Garry Ginivan Attractions are proud to present a brand new stage adaptation of the 1984 classic Wombat Stew.

Written by Marcia K Vaughan, with illustrations by Pamela Lofts, Wombat Stew is a modern day phenomenon in children’s literature and has sold more than 350,000 copies Australia wide.

The simple story of a dingo who catches a wombat and decides to make wombat stew, has been cleverly developed into a “true-blue-dinky-di-big-aussie-musical” complete with blobs of mud, very fine feathers, creepy crawlies, flies, 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).

Young and Keelan 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 Side Show Alley.

With a cast of 6 multi-talented performers, Wombat Stew is a mouth-watering combination of story-telling, mime, music, dance and puppetry, which is bound to be a highlight of children’s theatre for 2010.
