It’s a call to arms with hilarious consequences as they fight to keep both their home and the local haberdashery shop open.

Based on the brilliant book by Pippa Goodhart and Nick Sharratt, Nonsense Room Productions (Shark in the Park and Hairy Maclary Shows) bring you an interactive musical show for all the family. But in this show – YOU CHOOSE what happens!

You Choose

What do you do when your world is spiralling out of control?

Berlin, 1933. In a modest apartment, the laughter and political discussions of a group of friends mingle as the shadow of tyranny creeps closer. Years later, the questions still burn, when the world changes towards prejudice and injustice, do we resist, comply, or look away?

From the mind of Tony Kushner (Angels In America), A Bright Room Called Day is a portrait of friendship, fear, and the peril of doing nothing in the face of oppression. 

A Bright Room Called Day

The dynamic, adrenaline-fueled musical features more than 20 iconic Queen hits, including “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Are the Champions,” “Somebody to Love,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” and, of course, “We Will Rock You.” 

Set in a post-apocalyptic future where individuality has been outlawed and music is controlled by algorithms, the story follows two young revolutionaries, Galileo and Scaramouche, who dream of a world where people can play real instruments and express themselves freely. Joining a group of rebel “Bohemians,” they search for the lost instruments of rock legends, hidden long ago. Along the way, they battle the corporate tyrant, Killer Queen, and her henchman Khashoggi, who are determined to crush the “Bohemians” and retain their power over the planet. 

We Will Rock You

An entirely unique voice in magic, Ben Hart brings together enthralling storytelling, sharp wit and indisputable charm, to create magic shows that are unforgettable, funny, dark and profoundly baffling.

With nothing but his hands, a few simple objects, and his newly discovered uncanny mental abilities, Ben will peer into your thoughts, control chance, and make the impossible happen before your eyes. Witness his original impossibilities live onstage, with no camera tricks and nowhere to hide.
