Competition Time … Birthday Present #1 – Lord of the Dance : Dangerous Games

| Kidding Around Australia

We have some very exciting presents for you to celebrate our first Birthday!

BIRTHDAY PRESENT #1

Dust off your dance shoes, it’s time to honour Georgina’s ancestors and the luck of the Irish!

In September and October, 2015 the Global Irish Dance Phenomenon Returns to Australia and we have tickets for  MICHAEL FLATLEY’S LORD OF THE DANCE: DANGEROUS GAMES!

lord of the dance

The world’s most successful dance show explodes onto the Australian stage from 10 September opening in Hobart with a spectacular new staging of Michael Flatley’s masterpiece – Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games.  The theatrical extravaganza will then tour to Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney.

Michael Flatley brought Irish Dance into the global spotlight more than 21 years ago, going on to create Lord of the Dance in 1996.  Since then his name and the Lord of the Dance brand have become synonymous with spectacular artistry and grand scale productions that have mesmerized more than 60 million people in 68 countries around the world. Flatley’s new show Dangerous Games has exciting and ground-breaking new technology, including holographs, dancing robots, world champion acrobats, and 34 of the greatest Irish Dancers in the world.

A new score composed by Gerard Fahy, new choreography, stunning new costumes and special effect lighting add a breath-taking new dimension to the original masterpiece.

Please note: Michael Flatley will not be performing in the Australian tour.  Michael Flatley danced for the last time at Wembley Stadium, London on 4 July 2015.

Winners Announced … The Gruffallo’s Child

| Kidding Around Australia

From the 14-19 July 2015, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s award-winning picture book The Gruffallo’s Child is being brought to life at the National Theatre, St. Kilda.

We have two family passes (8 tickets) to give away, and can’t wait to announce who will be taking a stroll through the deep dark wood…

Winners of Wild Nights (4)

Have a wonderful time Stefanie and Sapna! We can’t wait to hear all about it! Could you please email me at info@kiddingaroundaustralia.com to organise delivery of your tickets!

Based on the award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, published by Macmillan Children’s Books,

THE GRUFFALO IS RETURNING TO MELBOURNE – WITH HIS CHILD!

After sell-out seasons of its predecessor nation-wide, the team behind “The Gruffalo” return with the charming sequel based on Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s world wide best seller, playing at the National Theatre, St Kilda from 14-19 July 2015.

The Gruffalo said that no Gruffalo should

Ever set foot in the deep dark wood…

But one wild and windy night the Gruffalo’s child ignores her father’s warning and tiptoes out into the snow. After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn’t really exist… does he?

The Gruffalo’s Child brings this much loved book to life on stage, using physical theatre, music and puppetry to deliver songs, laughs and scary fun for children aged 4 and up and their adults.

This best selling production, which has wowed audiences around the world, returns to Melbourne for one week only after a sold out premiere season in 2012.

Critics have raved about The Gruffalo’s Child:

“winningly played” (Sydney Morning Herald)

“can’t fail to please” (Brisbane Courier Mail)

“…this brave little offspring of the Gruffalo captures the young audience and keeps it entranced….” (Stage Whispers)

| Kidding Around Australia

Throughout the school holidays from 27 June to 11 July Werribee Open Range Zoo is coming to life after dark, with fire shows, marshmallow toasting, glow in the dark hula-hooping and a mysterious Secret Garden to explore for Wild Nights!

We had one family pass to give away, and for that lucky person it is time to pack your torch and your winter woolies …Winners of Wild Nights

Have a wonderful time Susan! We can’t wait to hear all about it! Could you please email me so that I can confirm your details for your prize at info@kiddingaroundaustralia.com

MORE INFORMATION ON WILD NIGHTS

Rug up and tour the Zoo by torchlight, as you spot Hippos grazing on the beach and Wild Dogs, Cheetah and Lions on the prowl. You can also get close to some very special nocturnal natives including Squirrel Gliders, Fat-tailed Dunnarts and Eastern Barred Bandicoots.

Fire spinning performers will delight visitors of all ages with nightly fire shows and the kids will love the interactive Glow Zone which includes hula hooping and other glow in the dark circus fun.

Follow the tiki torches to discover the light-dappled Secret Garden or settle in at the campfire and enjoy a hot chocolate and free marshmallow toasting under the stars.

Warm winter fare will also be available in the cosy, Meerkat Bistro and indoor play space. Ranger Kids will provide another comfy spot for families to relax as the kids transform themselves into vets and rangers, caring for plush animals in the medic tent and testing out the wooden helicopter.

Rug up, pop on your gumboots and bring your torch for this very special adventure in the dark as you discover what goes bump, hoot and ROAR in the night!

For the ultimate Wild Nights experience, book in for a special Dusk Safari Bus Tour of the  African savannah, spotting Rhinos, Zebra and antelope out on the grassy plains.
