The Kazoos will be coming down your chimney this Christmas as they deliver a heartfelt musical treat to kids across the nation.
The Christmas show this year features brand new songs, fabulous Christmas costumes and carols as well as original Kazoos Christmas songs. There will be Christmas jokes galore and even a drive to the north pole in the Rinky Tink Car!
We are currently taking bookings for Christmas 2009 so add some Kazooey fun to any event event this Christmas!
The character of Professor Silly is played by Chris Hill
Chris has been involved with music and show business all of his life. He is a trained actor and has a unique comic timing all of his own. Chris is very passionate about song-writing and performing for children and has that rare ability to really connect with a young audience.
The character of Tulip is played by Celia Hill
Celia has been enchanting children as a party entertainer for the last five years. She has the voice of an angel and is an exciting and energetic performer. Before The Kazoos she was writing and performing her own songs in clubs around Melbourne, Australia. In fact, it was at one of these gigs that she met her future husband, Chris Hill. Little did they know that the birth of their first child would inspire the birth of The Kazoos!
Working together
As parents of two pre-schoolers, Chris and Celia recognize the importance of children’s education and incorporate many subtle learning activities into The Kazoos’ performances. All songs are written by Chris and Celia and they both work very closely with The Kazoos’ director and choreographer to produce the best possible shows on all levels.
A sparkling on-stage team is supported by a very strong crew of industry professionals
Betty Bobbitt
All shows are fully scripted and directed by Betty Bobbitt who has a rich history in theatre, television and children’s pantomime. As an actor she\'s received two awards from the Television Society of Australia for her work in the long-running series, Prisoner. Her production of Dan Goggin\'s Nunsense was nominated in the Best Director category at the Green Room awards and she has worked extensively in children\'s entertainment over the years as an actor, writer and director. Some of these credits include The Magic Circle Club, Terry Gill Pantomimes, David Jones’ Christmas Shows, Alice Down Under and one-off children\'s pantomimes. Betty is proud to be associated with The Kazoos.
Cara Dinley
The dance elements of the show are choreographed by Cara Dinley. She is the Resident Choreographer for the Entertainment Store and has choreographed the following childrens’ shows: Angelina Ballerina, Funtime with Friends (ABC & BBC Character show,) Around the World with Blinky Bill, and The Blinky Bill Xmas Show.
History & Past Clients
The Kazoos started operating in May 2005 and have been working constantly ever since apart from 9 months maternity leave leading up to and around the birth of their second child in November 2006.
From the early days of shows without any backing tracks, using just acoustic guitar and their voices, The Kazoos have gone from strength to strength. Betty Bobbitt joined the team as director and co-writer and Cara Dinley was brought in to create the choreography. New costumes, new dance moves, new songs and script and The Kazoos were set for an adventure that seems to have no limit!
