Description

Have you ever wanted to know every book ever? Well if Leo doesn’t read all the books in one night (entirely in song) the demon will burn everything. Family-friendly musical comedy! Bronte, what a breath of fresh Eyre! Never heard of F Scott Fitzgerald? You Gatsby kidding me! Let your fanatic, fiction-loving fool guide you through all the books in this madcap hour of mayhem. From the minds of Leo Kitay and Sam Plumb comes a brand-new one-man musical. Warning: may contain heaps of fun.

Cleverly written and giving hope to the kids who are proud to be different. Lovely way to spend an hour.

This was a surprising show. I can't say much or else risk spoiling it. Suffice to say there is way more depth and interest to this than you might expect. The show deserves a bigger audience and is delivered with great talent and energy from the one man. Check it out and I hope it grabs you.

Incredibly touching, witty, beautifully written and performed. He is going places! And so am I - back to the theatre to see this show again!

Leo captures the thoughts and feelings of an introverted six year old boy with incredible skill. His physical comedy is matched only by his musical talent, with songs that will take you through all the important books of the Western Canon. And yet it also tells a personal, moving story, of a boy whose only friends are books. I highly recommend you check it out.
