A musical about childish world leaders
Winner of a “Zilveren Krekel” (Silver Crickets Youth Theatre award) for “Most Impressive Stage Production” in 2022.
What does a toddler and your average world leader have in common? Do some presidents throw fits in the middle of a supermarket? Or scream furiously until they get their own way?
In BullyBully, two world leaders meet in no mans land. What follows is an encounter between two childish but powerful adults.
An award-winning joyous musical for children and families told in the style of West Side Story featuring hilarious quarrels, catchy songs, some bickering and (eventually) a happy ending.
