Mozart wears ear muffs and slippers. Ha?
Mozart plays the piano backwards. Ha?
Mozart wrote his first musical score at 4. Ha?
Mozart’s a GENIUS and composed Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Did he?
The brilliant directors of Monkey Baa Theatre – Eva di Cesare and Tim McGarry (of ‘I Am Jack’ fame) with the gifted pianist Simon Tedeschi wrote the BABIES PROM.
The audience was babies to littlies under 5 years old and it was gorgeous as they were transfixed by the show, the music and the hilarity of it.
Of course they all twinkled with Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star created by Mozart.
Simon Tedeschi who played Mozart was hilarious.
Fabulous – take your kids and they’ll start the wonderful journey of classical music.
