OUR 2021 SEASON WAS A HIT!

Our whirlwind season of Chicago High School Edition and School of Rock the Musical closed last night with a full house and a standing ovation. A fitting end to two beautiful and hard-fought productions that we are immensely proud of. And the critics agree!
​
Chicago High School Edition - ""Considered by some to be amateur theatre due to the ages of some cast, this most certainly is not. This is a professional, youth cast, and the amount of talent in this show is mind-blowing. I can’t fault the cast at all. Nothing. They were perfection", Glam Adelaide.

​School of Rock - "To see such a high-quality production put on by such a youthful cast indicates to me, the bright future of live theatre in Adelaide", Adelaide Theatre Guide.

'in the heights was a hit with the critics and audiences ALIKE

"Pelican Productions are well-known for delivering productions of the highest calibre in all areas – singing, dancing, acting, directing, and design. This production of In the Heights is a wonderful addition to Pelican Productions’ reputation". Stage Whispers

Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID JR
Audiences and reviewers alike loved our production of Disney's The Little Mermaid JR in March 2019. We had so much fun with this production!

“The ensemble work is superb. Aged from 8 to 19, of all shapes and sizes, the ensemble of seagulls and dancers displays absolute discipline, each individual seeming to shine with joy” The Barefoot Review
