If you had a star… where would you hide it?
From the creative team that brought you the smash-hit production How to Catch a Star, comes a brand-new theatrical adventure based on Oliver Jeffers' sequel, Where to Hide a Star - a sparkling celebration of imagination, friendship, empathy, courage and love.
In this delightful new ACO Families production, we reunite with our Boy, who has finally caught his Star. But now his wish has been fulfilled, he faces a new problem: can something so bright belong to just one person?
Join the Boy on his brave journey across lands, seas and space, chasing stuck penguins and lost stars, answering cries for help with daring rescue missions, and finding unexpected friends in the most surprising places. Beautifully staged with live music by an ACO quartet, Where to Hide a Star is a story of friendship and connection, of learning when to hold on - and when to let go.
Based on the internationally bestselling children's book by acclaimed author and illustrator Oliver Jeffers, adapted and directed by Sandra Eldridge, and brought to life with a stellar original score by award-winning composer Elena Kats-Chernin, Where to Hide a Star will delight dreamers of all ages.
