Children's Rock Musical - Baloombawop - goes to J Studios

Nth Fitzroy, Victoria - Saturday 24th April 2010 WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH EVENT KIDS ROCK MUSICAL - BALOOMBAWOP Once upon tough time, there were Grumpy Gallumphies who didn’t like strangeness it made them quite grumpy. Then a magical train arrived from a dream and those who could dare, they had dared to get in. It was off to Baloomba-wop where they had purple rain, and a shop that even sold new replacement brains! They would meet Charlie Warmton whose best friend was a blanket, and the Brookenstein Fox who lives up on a shelf, and Bluster-McFluster with his technical gadgets and the Gimmety-Gimme with everything for herself. They’d meet Booger-Looger who picks his nose to perfection and the Whirly-twirl-girl who lacks any direction. And not to mention the Gadoodleborger who runs a magical shop which just happens to be where the train is to stop. But deep in Baloomba-wop, a Grumpy Gallumphy, the notorious Dame Grumpty- Doobee-the-Fourth, she doesn’t like strangeness at all so she wants to make everyone so very ’normal’ of course. She is looking to change Baloomba-wop for forever. She’s determined to make all these weirdoes quite plain. Will she be stopped before everything’s ’normal’, I wonder. Or succeed making all be exactly the same? Promoting diversity and challenging fear of difference, Baloomba-wop is an interactive, off the wall, musical adventure for kids and kids at heart. Written, produced and performed by Donna Williams it is accompanied by Jean-Paul D'Aubbonnett. Baloomba-wop runs for an hour and should appeal to fans of Dr Seuss, Lewis Carroll, Roald Dahl. Audience members are invited to actively participate throughout.
