BOING! (2016)

About the show

Set on Christmas Eve, BOING! is an energetic and enchanting piece of dance theatre, which captures the delirious excitement of waiting for Santa to arrive on the most magical night of the year. Too excited to sleep, Wilkie and Joel are drawn into ever more thrilling games that turn their bed into a giant trampoline.

Directed by Sally Cookson and choreographed by award-winning b-boys Wilkie Branson and Joel Daniel, BOING! combines comedy, acrobatics and breakdance to dazzling effect. Adored by audiences of all ages, BOING! has attracted rave reviews wherever it has performed.
