Around the World in Eighty Days presented by 24 Carrot Productions tickets

The world premiere of an original musical based on Jules Verne's classic adventure novel. In 1872, an Englishman makes a bet that he can travel around the world in 80 days. As he travels through the British Empire, he might just learn something from the people he will meet.

This original musical adaptation features poignant songs, striking costumes, and lavish music from our 7-piece band to whip you off your feet and take you to the cities visited by Fogg, and most importantly, an introduction to the women he meets — Mei in Hong Kong, Ayusha in India, Farida in Egypt, and Patience in America — as an Englishman during the peak of the British Empire.

The narrative incorporates 21st century sentiments with the 19th century excitement and anticipation - and ignorance - of an globalising world; facilitated by innovations in technology and transportation. These ever relevant themes ask us to question narratives of history.
