World Premiere

Wolfgang in the Stars is a music-fuelled circus space romp of galactic proportions

Join the boy-genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as he embarks on an interstellar journey to seek inspiration for his beloved early masterpiece “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”.

As he floats through the wonders of zero-gravity, he encounters a cast of quirky characters from dancing space dinosaurs to zany aliens-every moment is packed with laughter and excitement.

But there’s a catch. To share his enchanting song with the world, Wolfgang must navigate through cosmic chaos and find his way back to Earth. Will he conquer the challenges of the universe and return in time for his grand performance?

This world premiere of Wolfgang in the Stars is a dazzling delight for audiences of all ages filled with sparkling acrobatics, side-splitting gags, and stunning video projections transporting you to a world where music and imagination collide. Buckle up and prepare for lift-off!
