My Grandma lived in Gooligulch

Courtesy of our friend Jo, the four of us enjoyed a trip to Canberra Theatre to see My Grandma lived in Gooligulch.

The play is based on a children's book (which we haven't read) so we weren't sure what to expect, but we certainly weren't disappointed. It was the only performance of the show in Canberra and we were treated to a real 'Aussie' musical complete with a talking wombat and cheeky cockatoo!

Audrey sat on the edge of her seat throughout the hour long performance (Eli sat on the edge of his Mum's knee) and it was fantastic to see how engrossed they both were with the story.

We've been to a few musicals and plays with the kids and this was definitely up there with the best. The theatre was probably only two-thirds full (the timing of the show - 6.30pm on a Monday evening didn't help), which was a shame as it meant a lot of people missed out on an excellent show. Highlight of the evening was probably the three emus who shared a dance routine (complete with white handbags) - really great fun. Gooli-Gooligulch for me!
