Reviews
Bear Hunt composed by Rose Nolan (myself) premiered at the Melbourne Fringe Festival 2022:
"Thank you SO much for our musical journey! It was such a delight and privilege to have our own personalised story and my 5 year old son loved hearing our names throughout it. You must spend much time putting these pieces together so carefully. Lovely imagery! Row me to the stars in your canoe is magical."
The Wind and the Hares by Barry Russell:
"Great show - wind and the hares - cheers to you and the team - please let me know if it will be on again elsewhere - happy to recommend to other parents + come along again."
"Wonderful, we loved it."
"Would definitely come again!"
