Show description
The special gifts left for us to find
When a young boy discovers some marionettes in his grandfather’s attic, the dusty puppets suddenly spring to life!
Armed with a magical umbrella and a set of mighty moves, his newfound friends lead him on a transformative journey to overcome his fear and conquer his dreams of being on the stage. Stronger together and best friends forever!
Join us for the return of Jandel J and the Funky Friends (The Perfect Gift, Baggage) as they create an action-packed and uplifting show for tamariki and whānau.
This show is just the beginning. There’s plenty more to discover for curious young minds and their caregivers, with lots of FREE activities and experiences to enjoy throughout the festival. Explore them here.
Originally presented as part of the Auckland Live Pick & Mix programme in 2013, 2014 and 2020.
