The Rockstar and the Krill

There’s a huge commotion at the bottom of the ocean. A badly behaved rockstar and a tap-dancing krill have found themselves inside the belly of a whale! But how did they get there? And how will they get out?

You’re in for a whale of a time with The Rockstar and the Krill. From internationally acclaimed theatre company Finucane & Smith comes the premiere of their all-singing, all-dancing show for kids and their adults.

Kids will explore the power of friendship, breaking the rules and how being small won’t stop you from being mighty.

Dive deep into the ocean, learn about krill, save the whale and save the world.

Utterly krill-ing!
