In the Studio

Kids & Families

Ages 3+ | A madcap family musical about childish grown-up men, featuring two performers, songs, funny quarrels, a bit of bickering and eventually a happy ending. 

The most amazing show I’ve seen this year, fabulous performance and such wonderful humour. Should be compulsory for all world leaders.

Audience member, BullyBully

A musical about childish world leaders

Winner of a “Zilveren Krekel” (Silver Crickets Youth Theatre award) for “Most Impressive Stage Production” in 2022. 

What does a toddler and your average world leader have in common? Do some presidents throw fits in the middle of a supermarket? Or scream furiously until they get their own way?  

In BullyBully, two world leaders meet in no mans land. What follows is an encounter between two childish but powerful adults. 

An award-winning joyous musical for children and families told in the style of West Side Story featuring hilarious quarrels, catchy songs, some bickering and (eventually) a happy ending. 

Sydney Opera House presents a Maas Theater and Dance’s production of BullyBully 

The Sydney Opera House season of BullyBully is proudly supported by the Performing Arts Fund NL (Netherlands).
