No Hat, No Play! The Cabaret

Apple on a stick. Makes us sick! Makes us crush Mikayla J’s diorama with a BRICK!

After a sell-out season at MICF, Samantha Andrew (TikTok, Baby Bi Bi Bi - Green Room award) and Mel O’Brien (Voldemort and the Teenage Hogwarts Musical) are bringing this jam-packed, Glad Wrapped® cabaret adventure to Adelaide!

Featuring an all original soundtrack with songs including 'I Love You James.L' and 'I Am A Horse’ it’s a soft dodgeball to the head and the primary school fever dream (nightmare) that you DID NOT ask for. So wipe down ya recorder, cross your heart, hope to die and stick a Sunnyboy in your eye! This is Year 6.
