Possum Magic
The magical stage adaptation of the beloved Australian story.
Possum Magic
Grandma Poss loves making magic. She makes wombats blue and kookaburras pink. She makes dingoes smile and emus shrink. But one day, when danger arrives, Grandma Poss uses her most magical spell to make Hush invisible. Possum Magic takes us on a fantastical journey to cities around Australia to find the food that makes Hush visible again.
Featuring spellbinding magic, puppetry and original music, Monkey Baa’s award-winning team has turned the whimsical world of the book into an exciting live experience for audiences aged 3-8 and their families.

"While the kids revelled in the exaggerated antics of the actors, adults were treated to clever wordplay and subtle humour throughout."
Mia-Francesca Jones, ArtsHub
"Magic isn’t a thing that you see; it’s a thing that you feel. And that’s exactly what this production leaves you with: a very magical feeling."
Glam Adelaide
"Filled with vibrant puppetry, toe-tapping music, and enough magic to make your whiskers twitch, 'Possum Magic' is a delightful treat for the whole family."

"I honestly thought it was one of the best performances I have ever seen. I took my daughter and her friend and they loved it - they laughed and laughed, and were completely blown away with the magic."
Flora, patron
