"Max and The Wild Things" is a lively adaptation of the iconic children's book "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak. This interactive, imaginative, and engaging show invites children into Max's wild world!
The show follows the adventures of a boy named Max. When Max's mom catches him in the midst of mischief and calls him a "Wild Thing," she sends him to bed without dinner. But this is where the real adventure begins! Max embarks on a fantastic journey and takes the audience with him to an imaginary land. In this enchanting world, a dense forest filled with strange and wonderful creatures crowned Max as their ruler, but the question lingers: Will he ever find his way back home?
Through music, dance, and storytelling, Max learns valuable lessons about family, expressing emotions, imagination, authenticity and the power of being true to oneself.
This show is ideal for primary schools as it promotes inclusivity, encourages students to express themselves, and gives validation for healthy emotions with big joy and fun while watching the show. By the end of the show, all the students and teachers will be on their feet as active participants, fully immersed in Max's wild adventure, creating a memorable and bonding experience. Suitable for children up to Year 4.
