Based on the bestselling picture book about taking a chance.

An empowering and chuckle-out-loud story about embracing change — whether we like it or not.

 “In a wonderful place, at the breaking of dawn, where the breezes were soft and the sunshine was warm, a place where the creatures ran wild and played free… A Koala called Kevin clung to a tree.” 

Join Kevin, King of the staying-still-kings, and his friends kangaroo and wombat in an Australian Outback adventure, as they learn that “life can be great when you try something new!” 

Based on the award-winning book by Rachel Bright & Jim Field published by Hachette Children’s Group, this brand-new adaptation for stage is directed by Emma Earle (Oi Frog & Friends!), with music and lyrics by Eamonn O’Dwyer (The Lion Inside). 

 “Fabulous rhymes, I’m in love with Kevin!” – Claudia Winkleman
