Western Sydney audiences are in for a heartwarming treat as the beloved children’s
book Josephine Wants to Dance by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley leaps from the
page to the stage for two magical performances at Coliseum Theatre on Saturday
19 July.
This enchanting musical, brought to life by the award-winning team at Monkey Baa
Theatre Company, tells the story of Josephine — a spirited kangaroo with a passion
for ballet. Despite her brother’s insistence that kangaroos don’t dance, Josephine
dreams of twirling in a tutu and performing on stage. When a ballet company arrives
in the sleepy town of Shaggy Gully and faces an unexpected emergency, it’s
Josephine who might just save the show.
