The “Great Aussie Bush Show” was first introduced to
Victorian audiences in December 2002. It was a long awaited event.
After operating the Kangaroo Creek Gang Roadshow for twelve (12)
years, Joy Voice Pty Ltd
produced this new show with a refreshing new script, new puppets
and costumed characters and a new host/compere.
You’ll
have to excuse me for using the word new so often, but every aspect
of the “Great Aussie Bush Show” is new right through
to the public address system.
The
children’s entertainment industry is more highly competitive
now than ever before with a surge of new acts on the scene cashing
in on the Wiggles image. Bands with coloured Tee Shirts and a dancing
costumed character or two. Remember the “Great Aussie Bush
Show is a pantomime, complete with story line and villain. All our
puppet characters speak and they have their own unique personality.
Our show also features music (three songs) during the performance,
one of which involves bringing five children on stage to play musical
instruments. We are a lot more than a singing group with costumed
characters.
The
performance is completely interactive with the children. Our Host
(Jackaroo Jack) involves the audience from the minute he walks on
stage. The children assist in many aspects of the performance, from
finding Kenny Kangaroo to answering simply questions on stage.
We
entertain and educate simultaneously. Topics covered in the performance
include anti smoking – anti littering – self esteem
– protective behaviours – learning to read –
and more. During the performance we sing, dance, laugh, trick the
villain
(Grumpy Old Swaggy), invite children on stage and play music. After
the show our costumed characters join the audience for a meet and
greet.
We
come complete with EVERYTHING. Stage sets, public address system,
dressing room facilities, marquee for outdoor performances and a
great attitude. We also provide our clients with a comprehensive
promotional kit.
To
date, we have staged over two hundred (200) performances across
four (4) states and we recently placed a second crew on the road,
so now there are two (2) “Great Aussie Bush Shows” available
to cope with the bookings.
