52-STOREY TREEHOUSE LIVE ON STAGE to Launch Australian Tour
By: Tyler Peterson Sep. 03, 2015
They're back! Andy and Terry's world-famous ever- expanding treehouse has 13 new storeys and is filled with more fantastic inventions than ever: a watermelon smashing room, a chainsaw-juggling level, a rocket powered carrot launcher, and even a Ninja Snail Training Academy!
The team behind the hit adaptations of The 13-Storey Treehouse and The 26-Storey Treehouse have come together one last time to bring Andy Griffiths' and Terry Denton's latest bestseller The 52-Storey Treehouse to life on stage for a national tour. Premiering at the Sydney Opera House this school holidays, the show will tour nationally in 2016 to all states and territories except Tasmania, including The Arts Centre Melbourne, QUT Gardens Theatre Brisbane, the State Theatre of Western Australia and the Adelaide Festival Centre.
The best-selling, award-winning series by much-loved duo Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton has inspired children across Australia to let their imaginations run wild. The 52-Storey Treehouse has been awarded the Booksellers Choice Award and the Australian Book Industry Award Book of the Year, the first time a children's book has won this prestigious award. As the Treehouse grows so too does appeal for the series with the most recent book instalment, The 65-Storey Treehouse, having been released last month.
The 52-Storey Treehouse takes place on a very special day. It's Andy's birthday, but Terry has forgotten! To make matters worse Mr Big Nose has mysteriously disappeared, and to top it off, Jill has fallen into a deep sleep and they just can't wake her up. Andy and Terry set off on a crazy adventure tackling a world of startling obstacles including a hungry caterpillar, an angry vegetable kingdom and a 100 year ninja-snail epic voyage. Will they solve the mysteries and survive the dangers that test even their ingenuity?
