Fantastic Mr Fox

#Main Info

“No one outfoxes a fox!"

The smash-hit production is digging into Melbourne this January! Dahl’s much-loved Fox leaps off the page (and all around the stage) in this mind-blowing, visually stunning, extravaganza.

When Mr Fox needs to save his family and friends, he’ll go to any length (above or underground) to outwit the wicked farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean. Join Mr Fox and his team of furry friends as they bounce, burrow and bewilder their way to safety. Packed with Dahlicious mischief, hilarious mayhem, and humongous belly laughs, Fantastic Mr Fox is the perfect holiday tail for the whole clan.

You’ve read the book and seen the movie – now chase your tail all the way to the Comedy Theatre and experience this critically-acclaimed stage adaptation from the wacky mind of the world’s No. 1 Storyteller firsthand.

Adapted for the stage by award-winning producers Shake & Stir Theatre Co, Fantastic Mr Fox sees live actors interact with lush and beautifully-realised animations, bringing to life the magic and touching detail of Dahl’s fantastical world.

A story for children and cubs from five years old and up.
