BANANALAND

LYRICS AND MUSIC BY KATE MILLER-HEIDKE & KEIR NUTTALL

BOOK BY KEIR NUTTALL

DIRECTED BY SIMON PHILLIPS

How the WORST rock band becomes the BEST kids band.

Meet Ruby Semblance, a 21-year-old idealist. She believes in art, music and angry choreography. Ruby is the lead singer of Kitty Litter. Ruby insists Kitty Litter is NOT a band but an "Onstage Conceptual Art / Music Oriented Happening." If that sounds unappealing, you are right. Kitty Litter have been together for four years, played five hundred shows, and have one fan.

One fateful day Kitty Litter take the stage to be greeted by a sold-out audience… of small children. It turns out their furious protest song BANANALAND has accidentally become a runaway kids hit.

Is Kitty Litter destined to become the next Wiggles? (Spoiler: yes!). Their journey is a rollercoaster romp full of heart, music, pathos and loveable characters.

BANANALAND is a celebration of the glorious absurdity of following an impossible dream, featuring a knockout score by Kate Miller-Heidke and her collaborator Keir Nuttall - the award winning songwriting team behind Muriel’s Wedding the Musical and multiple platinum selling albums.

BANANALAND is directed by industry giant Simon Phillips, internationally renowned for his work on large-scale musicals including Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and Ladies in Black and famed for his stunning visual style and innovative staging.
