Blast off with Jeff and Tom in All The Things I Wish I Could Be, a wild, musical comedy about two loveable dads who dream of becoming everything from All Blacks to ballerinas, mad monkeys to silly monsters. Bursting with original songs performed live, this “very Kiwi” show is packed with heart, humour, and high-energy fun for tamariki and grown-ups alike.
Join the dad duo as they open the storybook of endless adventure, journeying through time and space - from the moon to the jungle and everything in between. Together, they explore what it really means to dream big and imagine all the things we could be.
Created and performed by Tom Knowles and Jed Parsons (aka Jeff Parsnips), this Aotearoa original celebrates imagination, friendship, and the joy of discovery. With live music, interactive moments, and plenty of laughs, it’s a hit for the whole whānau - fun, funny, and full of heart.
A perfect family show that’ll have kids roaring with laughter and parents humming the tunes all the way home.
