Live and direct from Wannapoo – Li’l Elvis Jones is back, alongside bandmates Janet and Lionel to introduce a new generation to the wonders of Didgibilli rock! The beloved 90s Australian animated series is making the leap from screen to stage with a live musical adaption. Li’l Elvis Jones and the Truckstoppers will be making its world premiere at Brisbane Powerhouse from January 10–18, 2025.
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?
Brought to life by a national team of creatives with support from the original series writers and producers, and featuring an iconic cast of characters from the original series, Li’l Elvis Jones and the Truckstoppers is a musical adventure that celebrates country, community, mateship and the power of rock ‘n’ roll. Packed with original songs, high-energy choreography and a narrative filled with humour and emotion, it’s set to be an unforgettable musical experience for the whole family.
