Princess Charming
Some girls like football. Some boys like pink. Everyone likes a good story. Exploring gender stereotypes in a fun, questioning way, Princess Charming is a celebration of being exactly who you are.
This show is for anyone who doesn’t like being told what to do and is about finding the courage to defy expectations.
Cabaret performers explore what really matters about being a boy and being a girl with dances, songs and skits created with children, for children.
The theatre is transformed into a family friendly cabaret club full of laughter and sing-a-longs. Join in at the end as the next generation of cabaret stars take over the stage.
Recommended for ages 6 – 11 years.
WHY? ‘Pertinent and powerful, but most of all it’s extremely fun! Princess Charming teaches kids (and adults) that they can just be themselves’ A Younger Theatre
