Like a Show for Adults

At Alpha Shows, we believe that children’s theatre should be held to the same high standards as adult theatre. We invest thousands of dollars and a tremendous amount of time and energy into perfecting each element of our productions, striving for the highest level of quality possible for a touring show. While our performances are marketed as ‘children’s theatre,’ they are versatile enough to be enjoyed at a wide range of events, including community festivals and gatherings for all age groups.

Our dedication ensures that not only children but also adults experience theatre that is humorous, entertaining, and of a quality comparable to any professional musical production in Melbourne today. By treating children’s theatre with the respect and rigor it deserves, we create shows that are universally engaging and memorable, providing an exceptional theatrical experience for audiences of all ages.

Revolutionary

Alpha Shows offers more than just entertainment; our productions convey important messages about life, striving to be your best, and lessons that resonate with audiences of all ages. Our scripts are meticulously crafted, not haphazardly assembled from trendy books or random plots. Each narrative is designed to be comically clever, heartwarming, and life-changing, built around universal truths that everyone can relate to.

The music in our shows is carefully selected to engage the audience at a high level, featuring songs that are familiar and beloved. This familiarity enhances the connection between the performance and the audience, making the experience even more impactful. By integrating meaningful content with entertaining elements, Alpha Shows creates a revolutionary theatre experience that educates, inspires, and delights.

Quality

Alpha Shows prides itself on delivering full production values, transforming beloved stories into magical, memorable, and engaging theatrical stage shows. Our expertise ensures that each performance is a testament to the art of theatre at its finest. While we may not reach the extravagant levels of expense or jaw-dropping stage work seen in certain ‘on ice’ shows or long-running city theatre and Broadway productions, we bring the essential elements of these elaborate performances to life—costumes, sets, lighting, special effects, and performer talent.

Despite our ability to tour to different venues daily and maintain affordability for any group, we do not compromise on quality. Our state-of-the-art lighting and five-speaker sound system, along with professional truss setups, ensure that every show, regardless of the venue—from modern theatres to local halls—looks and feels like high-quality theatre. This commitment to excellence allows us to provide an exceptional theatrical experience that captivates and delights audiences everywhere.

More variety and unique shows

At Alpha Shows, we go beyond the familiar classics like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, bringing a fresh array of productions to the stage that have rarely been performed for children. Our repertoire includes unique and exciting shows such as Hercules, King Arthur, Snow Queen, and Scrooge—stories that captivate and engage young theatre-goers in new and imaginative ways.

We present these productions in our much-loved Alpha style, known for its incredible levels of audience inclusion and interactivity. Unlike other classic children’s movies adapted for the stage, our shows foster a unique connection with the audience, making each performance a memorable and immersive experience. This distinctive approach ensures that our productions are not only entertaining but also deeply engaging, encouraging a lifelong love for theatre.

Paradigm Shifting

In the 21st century, engaging audiences requires innovative approaches to theatre that stand out amidst the constant barrage of instant entertainment from tablets, screens, and the internet. These forms of entertainment have become pervasive and addictive, making it essential for theatre to offer more than just a narrative on stage.

With an Alpha show, we guarantee unparalleled engagement for all children, fostering immense growth and excitement. Our productions appeal to a significantly broader age range, ensuring that every child finds something captivating and memorable. There are simply no other shows in Australia that match the appeal of Alpha Shows, generating excitement for theatre, your venue, and the broader educational and emotional outcomes you aim to achieve.

Our commitment to creating immersive and interactive experiences sets us apart, making Alpha Shows a truly paradigm-shifting force in children’s theatre. By combining high-quality production values, unique storytelling, and profound messages, we create performances that resonate deeply with young audiences, inspiring a lifelong love for theatre and a greater appreciation for life.

Attracts larger crowds, meaning greater exposure for your theatre and less risk. We have reasonable costings based on smaller numbers, and we only ask for more money if you get larger crowds.

A total of SIX actors playing TEN or more characters. To get that many performers usually costs a lot more and usually you have to have a minimum season. We’ll do a single show with a full cast, every time, for a great price.

All of our sets have different scenes, backdrops and staging, all with clever designs that keep the audience interested and the show looking great in your theatre.

Movie length shows – the perfect length that children are accustomed to. All of our shows run from 80 to 90 minutes – PLUS you can elect to have an interval in all our shows. You are getting more stage time from us, therefore more value for money.

We know exactly what entertains children, as well as the importance of keeping the adults entertained just as much! No more bored fathers or mums who sit through a boring show hoping their children enjoyed it! You can also stop ‘burning’ your audiences which we’ve heard time and time again for years that this has been happening – parents who have given up bringing their children to shows because of the poor quality and high level of boredom the adults experience.

Our shows are without a doubt 100% proven to appeal to a much higher age group – from 3-4 years up to at least 14 or 15 years old! And parents love it too! Compare that to a children’s band style group which caters for 1-5 year olds, or other children’s shows that lose the age 9 and upwards.

Adapted songs from various genres, including the most popular musical theatre songs, pop songs and originals, that fit perfectly into the stories, that children and adults know and love (and can sing along with!)

Alpha’s shows include the audience every step of the way. You’ve never seen audience interaction done like this.

Even if you don’t have your own lighting or sound, we have full theatre lights with multiple moving heads (with hundreds of cues via QLab and Lightkey), fog machine, and state-of-the-art microphones. Alpha’s shows go way beyond what shows of this cost normally bring, so even if you just used our effects we’re way ahead of the competition – but if you want to treat this like other shows you have in (who still often don’t bring anything with them) and add your own lighting and sound reinforcement, then we can work with your system to elevate the experience further. Just contact us to discuss your plans!

Both unique titles and family favorites! We run shows most of the year aside from the summer holidays, and even if you had us every year you would not repeat a show for a decade!

We don’t need extra help with anything like funding applications, hiring equipment, travel or technical staff. You simply pay an agreed price and we do everything for you. And because we keep our pricing very reasonable, that means less financial risk if you are selling tickets to the public.
