Kids in Paradise from Bushfire press Can Gunja, would-be witchdoctor, save the magic Bong-Bong Tree from the hands of big business? Get ship-wrecked in Paradise for an hour and find out. A joyous explosion of reggae, calypso, zydeco, rock etc. Good for environmental conservation themes

Thanks for another great musical production. Both 'Superkids' and 'Kids in Paradise' have been real hits and have certainly helped to raise the profile of music and drama in our school. The year 6 and 7's had a ball and I am already being 'nagged to death' about next year. Thanks again and keep writing these masterpieces.

The show was fantastic! When I first read the script I chuckled to myself - by the time the kids had finished with it the audience couldn't stop laughing. - 'Best children's production I have seen' was one of the many comments. The audience loved it, but, more importantly, the children loved being a part of it. Thank you.

'Kids in Paradise' received rave reviews. I knew this would happen because it was such a terrific script. May I congratulate Bushfire Press on the quality of material we received.

We knew as soon as we read the script that the children would really enjoy this musical. The music and songs were excellent. Thanks for such a quality product.

I wish to thank you for your touch of brilliance with 'Kids in Paradise'. The parents were absolutely delighted. It is an excellent piece of theatre for children. Congratulations!

Fabulous! Very easy to produce - no scene changes - great!! Costuming - really easy. Props - super easy. Because our school had put 'Kids in Paradise' on in 1991, we still had the Bongo tree (it just had to be revamped). Our students made the Bongo fruit in Art lessons, so they took ownership.
Roslyn PS

Very appropriate for the age group - few major scene changes and costume requirements meant easy management. Length meant that rehearsals etc were not difficult to organise. Songs were a good variety. Certainly a good show to do first up.

'Kids in Paradise' was a huge hit, with the language and songs being suitable for the various cultures and age ranges within our school.
