The Great Grumpy Gaboon

Gordon Bragg conductor

Step into a world of wonder where music and imagination come together!

After three sold-out seasons, the Great Grumpy Gaboon is back and ready to take you on a spellbinding adventure. Join Woolly Wello, Long-legged Lin, Fluey Lu and Hoppity Boppit as they journey through enchanted lands to uncover the secret behind the Gaboon’s mysterious grumps. Along the way, you’ll meet the mischievous Screature, maker of musical mayhem as well as the wise and kindly All Knowing Umpet, who just might hold the key to the group’s happiness.

Packed with playful characters, toe-tapping tunes and a story full of friendship and forgiveness, this is a musical quest like no other, perfect for families and children age 6+ with curious minds and big imaginations.

*Commissioned by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.

Our BSL Interpreter Paul Whittaker will be stage right.

I loved the way [the BSL interpretation] was woven in rather than being a separate thing. Access can be beautiful!
