IT WILL be a show of wacky wombat entertainment for the whole family.
Belgrave Heights resident Mike Bedford designed The Wacky Wombat Road Show as a comical and wacky performance.
The lovable Australian wombats create an enjoyable musical environment for kids and their families.
The three colourful characters differ in their personalities – Wacky is the troublemaker of the trio, Wendy is a glamorous female wombat and Wally is intelligent.
With influences of the Australian outback, the show features some of the greatest hit songs of the past.
Mr Bedford said the idea behind using wombats came from children’s love of teddy bears.
“Children love teddy bears, which idealistically is an American concept so then I thought why not use wombats that are cuddly like bears?” Mr Bedford said.
“It is going to be a blockbuster,
“Kids of today are always sitting behind the TV and this is a show that is bound to get them up and about to the music,” he said.
With over 30 years of experience in event management, Mr Bedford said this show had influences from some of his past shows and events.
The show is expected to be on the road in September.
