Hiccup - a rocking musical at Bunjil Place
It’s a perfect, balmy night in the outback. A sleep-deprived camper, a cheeky quokka and an emu with a penchant for creating wild inventions, awake to discover that a koala has come down with a stubborn and ear-shatteringly loud case of the hiccups…
Recommended for children aged 4-8 years, ‘Hiccup’ is a hilarious rocking musical extravaganza about working together, finding friendship and how to, once and for all, stop the hiccups.
