Overview

Kia orana kopu tangata! Little Jack needs your help to see the lights of the stage!

Our new steampunk musical, based on the nursery crimes of Little Jack Horner & Co, is ready for the smell of the greasepaint and the roar of the crowd. “Little Jack”, a new musical for children ages 8 to 80, tells the sad tale of the rise and fall of Little Jack Horner, in a nursery rhyming world where no plum is safe.

This Boosted campaign is focused on raising the funds required to support the following:

  • Full scoring of the band arrangements & hire of band
  • Theatre hire inc (lighting & sound)
  • Costume hire

After a successful self-funded mini workshop at the end of 2020, our creative team plan to stage the whole musical in a "workshop with wardrobe" format at the end of 2021.

However in order to take this tale to the next stage, we need your support!

Together, we can breathe life into the steampunk folksy world of this nursery crime!

I can't wait to share some of the amazing content already created by the wonderful cast and creative team from our first workshop.

So, what are you waiting for? Come onboard and show your support for the next part of this musical adventure...

Little Jack Song: "Synthesized Bliss"

It has been amazing to see the level of support come in from our community of friends, whanau and the wider theatre scene!


This is an all or nothing campaign to get Little Jack to the next stage of development. So if you can, please take a moment to show your aroha with some koha.


In the meantime we have a new clip to share with you that shows the more upbeat side of Little Jack. This song "Synthesized Bliss" is about the semi legal concoction of Plums and their occupiers juiced together to create a potent amnesiac. Little Jack and Georgie Porgie are busy selling this version of "Bliss" to the unwary, when Georgie gets a marvelous idea on how to speed things up.


Yes, this is definitely a nursery crime with all the juicy bits left in!!
