Miss Muffet Show - About Face
Productions (VIC)
The ‘Miss Muffet Show’ unfolds out of a giant pop-up
book…like a child’s dream come true. The audience is
taken on a hilarious journey through the best loved stories
of childhood. However this is a junior thriller jam packed
with unexpected twists and turns, so the children quickly
forget themselves and call out advice and warnings to
favourite characters such as Old Mother Hubbard,
Queen of Hearts, Big Bad Wolf and above all the feisty
Miss Muppet. The show brings the world of books alive
for young audiences and has toured around Australia,
as well as NZ Arts Festival and Seoul Puppet Festival in Korea.
