Title: When the Wind Blew Presented By: Paula-Mary Camilleri in association with Eli J Ball & Shine Performing Arts Academy Genre: Family-Friendly Original Australian Musical Synopsis: When the Wind Blew is a family-friendly musical set in the vast and vibrant Australian bush. Bursting with heart, humour and unforgettable songs, this uplifting production invites audiences of all ages on a journey about courage, friendship and finding where you belong. The story follows Hazel, a young sugar glider terrified of taking her first glide. When a fierce storm violently shakes her from her tree and separates her from her family, Hazel finds herself lost and alone in an unfamiliar world. With no choice but to move forward, she must discover a bravery she never thought she had in order to find her way home. Along the way, Hazel meets an eclectic group of companions: Ziggy, a cautious echidna; Peanut, a gentle koala; and Arthur, a nervous spider. Guided by Coco, a wise wallaby, they travel across the bush to seek guidance from Madam Virginiana, a mystical possum whose tea-leaf riddles challenge each character’s understanding of home and belonging. But danger lurks in the shadows. Diesel, a cunning and vengeful dingo, relentlessly pursues them with the help of his eerie accomplices. As the journey grows more perilous, the group learns that home isn’t just a place—it’s the people who walk beside you. Written by Paula-Mary Camilleri and Eli J Ball, When the Wind Blew is a joyful, moving musical celebrating bravery, connection and the courage to leap, even when you’re afraid.
