The Glit­ter Garden is a drag music­al extra­vag­anza for kids fea­tur­ing dazzling out­fits and fierce lip syncing. Join Hugo the Garden­er on Pride Parade as he attempts to embrace self-care, per­son­al growth and plant­er boxes, all with the help of his glit­ter­ing garden friends.

Cre­ated by TVNZ’s ‘House of Drag’ win­ner Hugo Grrrl (George Fowl­er) and acclaimed stage dir­ect­or Dr. Lori Leigh, this children’s theatre show aims to edu­cate, empower and enter­tain young people through the art of drag. Leigh and Fowl­er are fre­quent col­lab­or­at­ors. In 2020 their pro­duc­tion of Prin­cess Boy Won­der received four NZ Fringe Fest­iv­al awards nom­in­a­tions includ­ing “Best in Fringe” and won two awards: “The Grand Design Award” and “Mel­bourne Tour-Ready Award. Fowl­er says “I made this show because every­body loves sparkles. And because if I had seen this show as a kid it might have changed my life.” 

The Glit­ter Garden stars Hugo Grrrl, Eva Good­night, The Ever­chan­ging Boy, Robin YaBlind and fea­tures an ori­gin­al score by Max­well Apse.

All tick­ets are $15 and you can buy a Pay it For­ward vouch­er for fam­il­ies and teens not usu­ally able to attend theatre.
