About
When Ewing's dad told him the story of the mythical Golden Fox, he never thought he would be saved by one when becoming lost in the snowy woods during his first hunting expedition. On their journey back to Ewing's father – with the treacherous Wommolly hot on their tale – Ewing witnesses the magic of the woods, meets the many peculiar creatures who call it home, and learns what it means to be a part of something larger than himself. With orchestral music and a heartfelt story, it will not only delight but will leave you hopeful for what might come next.
The musical adventure of The Boy with the Golden Fox was first performed in 2022 at the Parks Theatre and was the first public season for The Flying Elephant Company. The show had a second season in 2023 to sold out audiences, and its Adelaide Fringe Premiere in 2024.
Reviews
"While aimed at a young audience, there’s enough theatrical magic in this production, from The Flying Elephant Company, to also enchant older theatregoers and, should it be revived any time soon, near you, go along."
- Ewart Shaw, Broadway World
"This is a wonderful local product with wider significance and appeal."
-David Smith, Theatre Association of South Australia
