A cheeky quokka and hilarious emu join the camper to eat, sing and invent their way towards a cure before the sun comes up. Catchy songs, bold colourful sets and puppets, this show will delight young audiences

hiccup
A rocking, outback adventure to find the great hiccup cure
It’s a perfect, balmy night in the outback. A sleep-deprived camper, a cheeky quokka and an emu with a penchant for creating wild inventions, awake to discover that a koala has come down with a stubborn and ear-shatteringly loud case of the hiccups.
The three embark on an epic journey through the night that sees them frantically eat, sing and invent their way towards a cure before the sun comes up.
Hiccup is a hilarious rocking musical extravaganza about working together, finding friendship and how to, once and for all, stop the hiccups.
