Li’l Elvis Jones and the Truckstoppers
ABOUT THE SHOW
LIVE AND DIRECT FROM WANNAPOO!
That’s right! Li’l Elvis Jones is back, alongside bandmates Janet and Lionel, for a brand new family musical adventure, blending nostalgia with a healthy dose of rock ‘n’ roll!
When brash, fast-talking property tycoon W.C. Moore—accompanied by his demure chauffeur Duncan—arrives in the outback town of Wannapoo, selling grandiose dreams of Subterranea, the world’s greatest underground theme park, Li’l Elvis Jones and the Truckstoppers, along with the rest of the Wannapoonian townsfolk, are quick to jump on board. But is this illustrious opportunity all that it seems?
Joined by a cast of characters from the original series, Li’l Elvis Jones and the Truckstoppers embark on an adventure filled with music, mateship, and a celebration of country and community in this brand new musical theatre experience for the whole family.
Brought to life by a national team of creatives with support from the original series writers and producers, Li’l Elvis Jones and the Truckstoppers – The Musical offers a chance to share this iconic story with a new generation.
Based on the original television series Li’l Elvis Jones and the Truckstoppers by Viskatoons and the Australian Children’s Television Foundation.
This project is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
