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.
