All The Things I Wish I Could Be

🚀 Blast off with Jeff and Tom in 'All The Things I Wish I Could Be', a wild musical adventure about two lovable 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” comedy is packed with heart, hilarity, and high-energy fun for tamariki and grown-ups alike.

Starring entertainer Tom Knowles and award-winning comedian-musician Jed Parsons (aka Jeff Parsnips), this brand new, Aotearoa original is a joyful celebration of imagination, friendship, and the endless possibilities of who we can be. Perfect for the whole whānau!


Suitable for ages 4-10
