Adventure calls, new encounters await and love conquers all in a nostalgic musical journey and irresistible blend of romance and nonsense.

This interactive performance inspires, educates and enthrals by inviting children, alongside their families, carers and teachers, to participate in musical and multi-sensory ways to help our lovable couple reach their destination. 

Aboard a giant magical boat moored in the sea, meet the pair’s colourful and eccentric new friends, as they are brought to life on deck.

Guests might even meet a honey-hooked Sea Bear, an itty bitty Kitty and a punky Piggy Wig.
