"I wish I knew what it meant to be ‘Real’,
I wish, a child's warm hugs I could feel,
It would be grand, my friend,
If I knew what it meant to be real"


Audio - "To Be Real"

 

We can all recall that one special toy which, even in adulthood, puts a smile on our face when we think of it, and “The Velveteen Rabbit Musical Show” is about such a toy. Tilkin-Dilkin Studio’s original adaptation is unique in its subtle encouragement of the audience to consider what it truly means to be ‘Real’, especially in our highly technological, virtual age. In this production two storytellers will take the audience along on a toy’s journey of learning about friendship, loss and love. With original songs and score, this fun and quirky show would make anyone wonder and laugh, and definitely would have them tapping along to the music!

 

‘In the time-honoured tradition of the best children’s stories this is a very adorable and delightful adaptation of the children’s classic by Margery Williams first published in 1922. With the show’s catchy singing and dancing this was perfect school holiday fare…All in all, a poignant, timeless tale of love, friendship, honesty and acceptance. An enchanting show for all ages.’ - SYDNEY ARTS GUIDE

‘...a lovely piece of small scale musical theatre that summons the childhood belief that with love and loss of stuffing our toys are Real.” - THEATRE NOW & TALKING ARTS
