The Wind in the Willows
Celebrating over 35 years in the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, The Wind in the Willows is Australia’s best-loved affordable family entertainment with plenty of songs, laughs and surprises for the whole family to enjoy.
Join Ratty, Mole, Badger, Otter, Portly and the mischievous Mr Toad on a joyful adventure as Kenneth Grahame's classic tale of life on the riverbank comes to life on the outdoor stage.
This critically acclaimed outdoor theatre production delivers music, songs, and laughs. There is fun for young and old as the Head Chief Rabbit transforms the audience into rabbits with a waggle of the ears and a wiggle of the nose. The young ‘rabbits’ are encouraged to get involved in the action and are given every opportunity to scream out loud, sing along and become part of the adventure.
With laughs and surprises for children and adults, this is interactive theatre at its best.
