The New Dorothy the Dinosaur Show
Get ready WA and Tasmania (and regional Vic and SA) - here comes Dorothy!
Announcing the first of the New Dorothy the Dinosaur show dates for 2009. Having toured from Cairns to Adelaide in 2008 we're very happy to say that we are bringing the new Dorothy show to the rest of Australia in 2009.
The smash hit television show seen in over 21 countries around the world has now been brought to the theatre stage!
Children worldwide have been engaged, enchanted and entertained by Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus, Captain Feathersword, Fairy Clare and Fairy Larissa’s adventures and songs.
The show stars Dorothy the Dinosaur, a graduate capital of R.A.D.D (The Royal Academy of Dinosaur Dancing!) Australia’s favourite dinosaur has performed at New York’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Apollo Theatre in London and even in Shanghai and now returns to the Australian stage for this brand new show!
The new Dorothy the Dinosaur show has been written by Blue Wiggle, Anthony Field, who also produced the music.
‘My three children adore Dorothy the Dinosaur, so I wanted to put together a concert that reflected the high quality of the TV show that they love’, said Anthony Field.
Children will enjoy meeting old friends and making new ones as they sing, dance, watch, listen and learn.
‘The simple storyline of this theatre show is propelled by some fun and beautiful music and dancing’, added Anthony.
He has recorded the Rosy Orchestra performing songs for Dorothy and her friends to sing along with, such as the delightful Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star! Children will love dancing to Dr Knickerbocker and bouncing up and down to Come On Let’s Jump! Captain Feathersword will be joined by Don the Postman, who sings his signature song. You’ll shake your hips with Wags the Dog and dance a fairy jig with The Fairy Dance.
Along with such hit songs as Romp Bomp A Stomp and To Have A Tea Party, audiences will be ecstatic as the show culminates with Let’s Have A Party!
If you think you’ve seen Dorothy the Dinosaur, then think again! To quote the star of the show, ‘The dancing is delightful and the music is really rosalicious. I know children around Australia will have so much fun when they come to my brand new show!’
