Perth audiences are in for a delightful treat as Disney’s Winnie the Pooh: The New Musical Stage Adaptation makes its way to The Regal Theatre. Following its highly acclaimed seasons in New York, London, and Chicago, this honey-filled journey into A.A. Milne’s Hundred Acre Wood will captivate audiences from August 31 to September 3 as part of its 2023 Australian tour.
Renowned writer/director Jonathan Rockefeller, known for his inspiring puppetry design in productions like The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show and Sesame Street the Musical, has masterfully crafted this stage adaptation. Drawing inspiration from the classic children’s books and beloved Disney featurettes, the musical showcases life-sized puppets that bring all the cherished characters to life, including Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, and Roo.
Rockefeller, who premiered the show at Theatre Row in New York in 2021, expresses his excitement about bringing the Hundred Acre Wood to Perth and believes that the music, spectacular puppets, and charming performances offer the perfect introduction to live theater for audiences of all ages. With the show described as “enchanting” by Time Out and praised for its brilliant puppetry by Entertainment Weekly, it’s no wonder that the production broke box office records in London upon its March 2023 opening.
Every puppet featured in the show has been meticulously designed and constructed within the walls of Rockefeller Productions. A team of talented artists, designers, patternmakers, builders, welders, and fabricators poured their passion into creating these larger-than-life characters. Covered in fur or feathers, each puppet is full of fluff and has been lovingly crafted multiple times to achieve their unique appearance and lifelike movements.
Disney’s Winnie the Pooh: The New Musical Stage Adaptation promises to be a whimsical and heartwarming experience that will resonate with audiences of all ages. As Winnie the Pooh himself would say, “A hug is always the right size,” and this musical adaptation is sure to be just as perfectly sized.
