The Children's Theatrical Rock Musical...
baloombawop
Written and produced by Donna Williams and performed by Donna and The Aspinauts
Once upon tough time, there were Grumpy Gallumphies who didn't like strangeness it made them quite grumpy. Then a magical train arrived from a dream and those who could dare, they had dared to get in. It was off to Baloomba-wop where they had purple rain, and a shop that even sold new replacement brains!
They would meet Charlie Warmton whose best friend was a blanket, and the Brookenstein Fox who lives up on a shelf, and Bluster-McFluster with his technical gadgets and the Gimmety-Gimme with everything for herself. They'd meet Booger-Looger who picks his nose to perfection and the Whirly-twirl-girl who lacks any direction. And Gadoodleborger who runs a magical shop which just happens to be where the train is to stop.
But deep in Baloomba-wop, a Grumpy Gallumphy, the notorious Dame Grumpty-Doo-bee-the-Fourth. She is looking to change Baloomba-wop for forever. She's determined to make all these weirdoes quite plain. Will she be stopped before everything's 'normal', I wonder. Or succeed making all be exactly the same?
Baloomba-wop is an interactive, off the wall, musical adventure for kids and kids at heart. It should appeal to fans of Dr Seuss, Lewis Carroll, Roald Dahl. The land of Baloomba-wop is magically brought to life through the complete dag-dom of The Aspinauts and the gestural signing and characterisations of their storyteller-lead singer, Donna Williams.
It runs for an hour and audience members are invited to actively participate throughout.
Our next Baloombawop show is at Jika Jika Community Hall, cnr Plant and Union Streets, Northcote, 3070, 6pm-7pm. Tickets at the door. $5 (kids) $7.50 (adults).
We can also bring the show to your party, holiday program, kindergarten, school, festival or theatre.
REVIEWS:
• What a funny bunch. The lady is a true entertainer. She began each song with a poem quickly captured by interesting and mischievous music. I sincerely hope the lady is available for children’s parties.
- Jo Robinson
• A-ha! The Aspinauts band changed gear quicker than a red Ferrari, front-woman Donna kept apace brilliantly with her phonetically charged lyrics and mesmerizing hands shaping the melody like an artist at the easel. I watched, captivated like the crowd around me. I intuitively looked around to see the reaction of people who might not have had the chance to experience such a richly flavoured ensemble before, and I can confidently say that The Aspinauts had the crowd in the rather elusive 'palm of the hand'. I thoroughly recommend an audience with a Donna and the Aspinauts event if you are ever given the chance. Each of your five senses will be buzzing before the end of the first song, and by the end of the show, you'll be definitely Aspi-fied.- Heidi Everett
• What an eye-opening night I had watching Donna and the Aspinauts! Amongst the rhythmic beats and uplifting tunes were embedded lyrics that move the soul. A must see band for all!
- Adele Kristens
- As remarkable a spokeswoman, activist, artist, author, and musician Donna is, her humanity is what really sets her apart; her humor, passion, wit and insight into the world around her; her ability to see beauty in everyday things, her playfulness, her way of being in the world. Donna changed the way I see everyone.
- "Confronting, amazing and informative". "Great, wonderful, get her back here." "Very informative, entertaining delivery with a great sense of humor. What an incredible lady."
- Audience members, Wodonga, Australia.
- Donna being so lively, human, funny and so true to herself , sparks of the same in me. Her standing up for everyone's right to their individuality, her celebration of differences, and her joy of simply being, allows me to be more of myself and to discover rich inner worlds.
