Children’s classic at Drum

A Roald Dahl children’s classic will be brought to the Drum Theatre stage next month.

The James and the Giant Peach adventure has been adapted as an action-packed musical. The ride starts when James Henry Trotter accidentally drops a bag of magic next to an old peach tree. He is then joined by a varied cast of oversized friends for a wild adventure.

The musical is suitable for 4 to 12 year olds. Free children’s activities will be held before and after the show which is on at the Drum, Lonsdale Street, Dandenong, on April 12 at 10.30am and 1pm.

Tickets: $15. Bookings: 9771 6666.
