Its that time again and here is our pick for the holidays. Loads of activities to keep the kids busy.
The Lolly Witch of Mumuland
Auckland Theatre Company is taking audiences, young and old, back to the wacky world of Mumuland in the April and July school holidays.
Another adventure in the wacky world of Mumuland, this time with a Hansel and Gretel theme… but like you’ve never seen them before! H and G are twenty-first-century kids, hungry for food and adventure; they go on a journey to save their family from the breadline and end up in the clutches of a very wicked zumba-dancing witch! With a little help from talking pigs, diva chooks and the ever-hilarious Aunty Sila, will H and G sing and dance their way out of trouble or end up as the Lolly Witch’s next sweet treat?
Co-directed by Polly Hood’s Alison Quigan and Troy Tu’ua.
