Adventures in Neverland

Melbourne families are invited on a larger-than-life family adventure this December with the return of Melbourne Shakespeare Company’s smash hit musical Adventures in Neverland. Join Emma and the feisty fairy Tink as they embark on an unforgettable 60-minute adventure through mystical forests and sparkling lagoons to outwit Captain Hand and his band of bumbling pirates.

With dazzling costumes and magical interactive storytelling, this hilarious production is perfect for children, families, and kids at heart.

Despite a setback earlier this year—when the show’s original set was stolen—the production is back for a limited season of just eight performances. Thanks to overwhelming support from the local community, producers are thrilled to bring Adventures in Neverland back to life with “an even more magical set than before”, while continuing their commitment to sustainability by using recycled, reclaimed, and reused materials.

Many of the original cast will be returning for this special season, with Cassidy Dunn (Alice in Wonderland) reprising her role as Emma, Tref Gare (Romeo and Juliet) as Professor Seastone, Joanna Haliday (Bluey’s Big Play) as Smee, Shanu Sobti (Outback Adventures) as Tink and joining the company Jackson Cross (Much Ado About Nothing) as Captain Hand.

To make the magic of live theatre accessible to all, Melbourne Shakespeare Company is offering pay-what-you-can tickets for this production, allowing families to attend for free or to make a donation in exchange for their morning’s entertainment. This initiative aims to remove financial barriers, ensuring more families can experience the joy of high-quality theatre.
