Josephine Wants To Dance
Sydney Opera House and Monkey Baa Theatre Company presents
Josephine Wants To Dance

3 Jan 2025 to 15 Jan 2025

The beloved Australian picture book by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley bounces onto the Opera House stage as Sydney's summer blockbuster musical for the family. 

Josephine is a kangaroo who loves to dance. Her little brother, Joey, tells her kangaroos don't dance, they hop - but Josephine continues to point her toes and leap through the air. When a ballet troupe comes to the sleepy town of Shaggy Gully, Josephine desperately wants to dance like the ballerinas in pink tutus and silk ballet shoes. 

On the day of the first performance the ballet company is in trouble. The prima ballerina twists her ankle and the understudy has a splinter in her toe. Who can dance the lead role? Josephine's talents are called upon to help save the day. Can she do it, and more importantly, does it matter that she's a kangaroo?
