Based on the 1899 classic children’s novel, with libretto by Daniel Stoddart, music by Daniel Mertzlufft (Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical, Breathe), and lyrics by Kate Leonard (Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical, Breathe), Dot & the Kangaroo JR. will lead audiences on a beautiful journey into the world and spirit of Australia.

Young, rambunctious Dot longs for an adventure exploring everything the country has to offer. When she finds herself lost and afraid in the darkening Australian bush, Dot befriends a wise mother Kangaroo who enlists the help of Australia’s favorite bush creatures to help Dot find her way back home. A charming tale full of quirky Aussie-native characters, that teaches us family isn’t just fathers and mothers—it’s all of the others who come to your aid when you’re lost and afraid. An endearing story that transfixed generations past reinvents itself as a fresh, new adventure for generations to come.
