KIDULTS! The Musical

KIDULTS! is a heartwarming comedic and magical reflection on our school days, that we are sure everyone will relate to. Discover the possible stories behind the characters we all remember from school. An insightful and thought provoking look at how our experiences and parenting influenced who we are today.

A show for adults about all our memories. A nostalgic yet disconcerting reality check, that uses comedy, music, and tall tales to deliver powerful messages.

Our unreliable Narrator ‘Narrata’ takes you on a journey through his past, your past or ‘our’ past and introduces us to many different characters in a school somewhere. These individuals, often seen as misfits, outcasts or troubled youths take us on a journey of their own self-discoveries, reflections, passions, ambitions, and nightmares as they try to conform to society or just fit in at school.

20 Original musical numbers with lyrics by Mark Tunstall and musical score by Lulu Chen and various artists, accentuate the stories with genre bending sounds and styles that traverse musical history. Honky-Tonk Piano meets Contemporary Rock Anthem Stylings, Hip Hop, Jazz, Rock n Roll, Bitter-Sweet Ballads and Toe Tapping Feelgood Broadway and Vaudevillian style numbers.

Meet Tiffany, Jonny, Little Short Sally, Greasy Gary, Hairy Harry and Celia Bott!

Try to ignore No-Name Jones, James ‘Haywire’ Hayward, Quiet Thomas and Joe Smiley, as you take a voyeuristic sprint through a year in their lives.

KIDULTS! explores many themes at large today, not just childhood insecurities. The show explores LGBTQ acceptance and individuality, the development of gender identities and forced conformity, crime, neglect, abuse, mental health, bullying and neurodiversity in its many guises.

Written by Mark Tunstall and based on his book: ‘Cautionary Tales for Kidults’.
