Princess Penelope’s End-of-the-World Magical Musical Super Happy Fun Time Show

A Princess of positive reinforcement, Penelope invites us into her post-apocalyptic survival wonderland. With her trusty imaginary friend she encourages the audience to abandon reality and embrace her fairy tale. Featuring Vicktoria Adam as Princess Penelope and Luke Brown as her sidekick, Princess Penelope makes us believe that positivity can help us survive when nothing else can.

Huddled in an underground bunker after a catastrophe that plunged the real world into chaos, she creates a shield against the horrors of the ravaged wasteland outside, a world inspired by bygone children’s television programming with singalongs, puppet guests and a set artfully constructed of scavenged scraps of fabric and old decorations. Audience participation is encouraged, with chants and clapping and even an old kindergarten favourite of mine

Can she remain upbeat in the face of the end of the world? Can the magical Land of Happinese keep the apocalypse at bay? Catch a performance at the Staircase Cafe Theatre (Main Space) and find out if this tale has a happy ending.
