Dot & The Kangaroo JR.

Hunter Drama is set to kick off its highly anticipated 2025 Season with a magical production of Dot & The Kangaroo JR this April school holidays. Based on Ethel C. Pedley's beloved 1898 Australian classic, this enchanting musical—penned by Hunter Drama's very own Founder, Daniel Stoddart—is being staged all over the world and transports audiences into the heart of the Australian bush in a tale of adventure, connection, and discovery. The story follows the adventurous Dot, a spirited young girl who finds herself lost in the vast and mysterious Australian bush. Frightened and alone, she is taken under the wing of a wise and nurturing mother Kangaroo. Together, they journey through the wilderness, encountering an array of Australia's most iconic bush creatures, all coming together to help Dot find her way back home. Daniel Stoddart's adaptation of Dot & the Kangaroo JR. has achieved remarkable success, joining the prestigious Musical Theatre International (MTI) Broadway JR. catalogue alongside classics like Les Misérables, Annie, The Little Mermaid and Shrek. The show has been staged across Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S. and is the first ever Aussie international Broadway JR production! An ideal school holiday treat for all the family from ages 3 years and older, it has a sensational soundtrack, colourful Aussie bush characters and a story that will delight and uplift everyone!
