The Wind in the Willows - Melbourne

The stage production of Kenneth Grahames beloved riverbank tale features Ratty, Mole, Badger, Otter, Portly, and Mr Toad in an outdoor setting on grass where attendees should bring their own blankets since seating is not supplied. Doors open one hour before the show begins. The critically praised live theatre experience combines music, songs, and humor as the Head Chief Rabbit leads the audience into a rabbit transformation through ear wags and nose twitches. Young participants are invited to join the action directly, encouraged to shout, sing along, and take part in the adventure with opportunities for loud vocal participation throughout. The event offers laughter and surprises suitable for both children and adults, representing interactive theatre at its peak. After more than 35 years performing at Melbournes Royal Botanic Gardens and over two decades at Sydneys Royal Botanic Garden, this production has become Australias most cherished affordable family entertainment experience.
