South Australia • Adelaide Fringe Premiere

Winner of Arts SA’s RUBY AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING CHILDREN'S EVENT 2022, this visually spectacular celebration of music, colour and light tells the story of Starman Sam and his quest to return home to his loved ones.

The seven colours of the rainbow, the seven notes of music together with Imogen and six star children from the audience help Starman Sam complete his mission.

Live music, interactive lighting and immersive video projection engages audiences young and old in a spellbinding story celebrating the power of art and creation. 

This intimate, interactive and beautiful work by veteran children’s theatre-maker, Dave Brown is “delightfully vibrant and joyous fun” Andy Ahrens, Stage Whispers.
