KIWI SPIN ON CHILDREN’S CLASSIC – THE FROG PRINCE AT TAPAC

Expect slapstick hi-jinks, magical mishaps and musical mischief in The Frog Prince, coming up at The Auckland Performing Arts Centre (TAPAC) in Western Springs during the July school holidays.

Written and produced by TAPAC’s Executive Director Sarah Somerville, this hilarious re-telling of the much-loved fairytale is given a modern, kiwi spin.

Princess Matilda is not interested in doing normal ‘Princess-y’ stuff, she wants to play rugby and she’s desperate to make the first fifteen at school, but first she must deal with arch rival and bully Petunia Poopersnot.

When Matilda tries to take advantage of a passing frog, who kindly retrieves her golden rugby ball from a palace pond, she learns the hard way that when you make a promise you must keep it. And as the day of the try-outs dawns, Matilda is forced to reconsider her habit of judging on appearances.

The Frog Prince is a fun family show packed with plenty of laughs, audience participation and lots of singing. Tickets are selling fast, so you’ll need to book soon to avoid missing out.

The Frog Prince is supported by Auckland Council Creative Communities. Thanks to Lottery Auckland Community, 600 children who attend low decile schools will have the opportunity to see the show for free.

Suitable for ages: 5-12

WHEN: 11 – 15 July, 10:30am & 1:00pm
WHERE: TAPAC (The Auckland Performing Arts Centre), 100 Motions Road, Western Springs
