DOT & THE KANGAROO JR

JULY 2025

Dot & The Kangaroo Jr made it’s Queensland Premiere at The J Noosa in July of 2025, presented by the Mini & Junior Musical Theatre cohort.

Young, rambunctious Dot longs for an adventure exploring everything the country has to offer. When she finds herself lost and afraid in the darkening Australian bush, Dot befriends a wise mother Kangaroo who enlists the help of Australia’s favourite bush creatures to help Dot find her way back home.

A charming tale full of quirky Aussie-native characters, Dot and the Kangaroo JR transforms the endearing story that transfixed generations past into a fresh, new adventure for generations to come.
