About the performance
The company who rocked Wellington with Sharon, Keep Ya Hair On in 2007 are back. Following hit seasons on Broadway, New York and Australia, this laugh-out-loud production will delight children and adults alike as its quirky characters break free from their fairy tales to ask “Why do things always happen in threes?.”
Re-creating some of the most loved children’s stories ever told, this wonderfully surprising production sees a table become a troll-inhabited bridge and rubber gloves transform into spectacular frog’s feet while porridge-eating bears dine, clever pigs plan and blue frogs talk!
