Kitchen Chaos

Marketing Manager from Circa Theatre

A Messy Magic Adventure
Written by David Ladderman and Lizzie Tollemache
Produced by Rollicking Entertainment
Directed by Greg Cooper

Sensible Spray and excitable Wipe are messy magicians, and they’ve been invited to a surprise party. But after a terrible cake squishing accident, magic is let loose in the kitchen, everything is turned topsy turvy, and they have to figure out how baking works before the party starts… Circus, slapstick and magic combine in this very special adventure for children aged 3 to 8.

After a sold-out season in 2018 and a national tour in 2020, Kitchen Chaos returns to Circa with all the joy, mess and mayhem audiences have come to expect from Rollicking Entertainment’s signature style of children’s theatre.

Meet and greet with the characters available after every show in the Circa foyer.

Reviews:

“Riveting, delightful, exciting and highly amusing” -Theatreview

“The winning combination of slapstick, sight gags, sound effects, sleight of hand, general silliness and puns, with the somewhat doofus Wipe juggling cake ingredients and kitchen utensils, proves irresistible.” -Stuff

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
