This July join Kevin, kangaroo and wombat, in an Australian Outback adventure at York Theatre Royal, as they learn that “life can be great when you try something new!”

Based on the award-winning picture book by Rachel Bright & Jim Field, published by Hachette Children’s Group, this brand-new adaptation for stage is directed by Emma Earle (Oi Frog & Friends!), with music and lyrics by Eamonn O’Dwyer (The Lion Inside).

This empowering and chuckle-out-loud story is about embracing change – whether we like it or not. “In a wonderful place, at the breaking of dawn, where the breezes were soft and the sunshine was warm, a place where the creatures ran wild and played free … A Koala called Kevin clung to a tree.”

“Fabulous rhymes, I’m in love with Kevin.” Claudia Winkleman

The show is at York Theatre Royal from 3rd to 5th July.

Tickets are on sale now via yorktheatreroyal.co.uk and at Box Office (01904 623568)
