Five of the Best: From screen to stage for kids
We are spoiled for choice when it comes to great music, theatre and entertainment events in New Zealand and we have recently noticed a big number of events that have seen some of our favourite films, shows and entertainers switching the screen for the stage.
We recently posted a blog that featured some of the best screen to stage performances for adults, but now it is the kids’ turn to get in on the action. Below we have listed our five favourite screen to stage performances that are coming up.
Any story or performance that transcends multiple mediums is certainly very special and we are very excited to bring you five examples of this in today’s edition of Five of the Best: From screen to stage.
We hope you enjoy it!
