MAGIC BEANS: THE MUSICAL
BY THE SPIRIT PROJECT
“Being yourself can be the hardest thing to be.”
Buckle up and get into party mode! Magic Beans: The Musical is a story of friendship, courage, and generosity, set in a world of partying pirate ships, persnickety dog manors and an opulent but stifling castle with a very special apple tree. Welcome to The Princess-dom of Beanopia! Narrated by the charming Ms. Shooting Star (first runner up in the Ms. Universe Pageant), we meet our iconic characters, the selfish princesses and their mother who doesn’t know (aka the queen), the cowardly pirates and their backwards speaking duck Oreo Jr. and of course, the rude ballroom dancing dogs. Throw in some magic beans and Kevin’s ex-girlfriend Dee and you find yourself on the journey of a lifetime. Sip on a refreshing parrot punch or a booty margarita, sit back and enjoy.
Devised, written and performed by The Spirit Project artists, Magic Beans: The Musical features direction by Lisa Anne Ross, an original score by Kylie Fox, videography by Strike Pictures and choreography by Sydney Hallett, and is our most ambitious project yet. Over the past two years, The Spirit Project artists have been working together to build this magical, wild world. With the help of our amazing creative team, we have built a show that comes direct from the minds of The Spirit Project.
