The show has received rave reviews, with Time Out calling it “enchanting” and Entertainment Weekly praising its “brilliant puppetry.” Its London premiere broke box office records and was hailed as “a show that truly spans the generations” by WhatsOnStage.

Jonathan Rockefeller, the creative force behind the production, expresses his excitement about bringing the Hundred Acre Wood to Australia, stating, “The music, the spectacular life-size puppets, and the charming performances are the perfect way to introduce or reintroduce audiences to live theatre, and this is a must-see show for Winnie the Pooh fans.”

We are excited to bring this heartwarming production to audiences of all ages.

Winnie the Pooh: The New Stage Adaptation has received prestigious nominations for Drama Desk Awards and OBA awards for Best Puppetry and Best Family Show.
