RUGRATS

(Musical Theatre Performance Program)

DANCE-1.jpeg

Journey "under the sea" with Ariel and her aquatic friends in Disney's The Little Mermaid JR., adapted from Disney's Broadway production and the motion picture. Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories, Disney's The Little Mermaid JR. is an enchanting look at the sacrifices we all make for love and acceptance.

​

In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home — and her fins — behind and live in the world above. But first, she'll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she's the girl whose enchanting voice he's been seeking.

​​

 

​Lyrics by Howard Ashman & Glenn Slater,  Music by Alan Menken. Book by Doug Wright.

 

Based on the Hans Christian Andersen Story and the Disney Film produced by Howard Ashman & John Musker and written & directed by John Musker and Ron Clements.

TRAINING & PRODUCTION

Our youngest performers fit into one of two categories;

  • Show pony - itching to get onstage!

  • Ensemble player - just happy to quietly develop their skills in a class setting. No performance needed!

 

We have a pathway for every child!

 

Our RUGRAT Musical Theatre Program is built from creative play, allowing our students to develop their skills in singing, acting and dance in a safe and supportive environment all while working towards a performance in partnership with our JUNIOR students.

​

Perhaps DANCE is more your style? We've just added a 30min Jazz/Ballet hybrid class to our Saturday morning schedule. Do either one class or BOTH!

FEES & DISCOUNTS

FEES

Each of our Musical Theatre performance programs run over two terms, full fees and discounts are viewable HERE.

 

Costume Hire fee of $40 (inc. GST) will be added to your termly invoice so the team can get your costumes ordered and ready for dress rehearsals.


We always endeavour to keep costume costs at a minimum, so some simple items (like black basics, undergarments, and shoes) will be supplied by students while the more complex costumes will be supplied by ROCKIT Productions.

DISCOUNT PACKAGES

We know that the cost of living is greatly affecting our community, so please take a look at our 2025 DISCOUNT PACKAGE which we hope will help ease the load. Check it out HERE.
