ANGELINA BALLERINA THE MOUSICAL to Play QPAC, 8 -12 Jan.

In an all-singing, all-dancing musical theatre show, children's book and television favourite Angelina Ballerina will perform live in a brand new 'Mousical' at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) from 8 to 12 January 2014 with tickets on sale from Thursday 17 October 2013.

The national tour and Australian premiere of Angelina Ballerina The Mousical is based on award-winning children's book series by author Katharine Holabird and illustrator Helen Craig. Angelina Ballerina was first launched in 1983 and has since garnered huge international acclaim, with over 20 books published and an animated television series broadcast in Australia, UK and US amongst other countries.

Angelina Ballerina The Mousical transports audiences to Chipping Cheddar, as Angelina And friends discover that Camembert Academy has won the opportunity to appear in their favourite television program 'Dancing With Mice!'. It feels like a dream come true - but when the girls and boys have very different ideas for the show and just can't seem to agree on anything, it's up to Angelina As Dance Captain to ensure that the show goes ahead.

This brand new stage show is written and directed by Miranda Larson, with music by Barrie Bignold, choreography by Matthew Cole and set and costume designs by Isla Shaw. The cast for the Australian tour will be announced shortly.

The Mousical is produced by Nick Brooke Ltd (The Gruffalo, The Tiger Who Came To Tea) and BOS Productions Ltd (The Railway Children, An Inspector Calls). Director Miranda Larson has written for both theatre and television with TV credits including Thomas the Tank Engine and theatre credits for scripts and lyrics including Bob The Builder Live and Little Princess Live on Stage. Composer Barrie Bignoldhas been a conductor and musical director of various West End shows including Some Like It Hot and Little Shop of Horrors and has written for children's television shows including The Tweenies and Sooty. Choreographer Matthew Cole has worked on various productions including BBC's Strictly Come Dancing and Qdos Entertainment pantomime Aladdin.
