Candy B & Busty Beatz: MC Platypus & Queen Koala’s Hip Hop Jamboree

The perfect show for the little gangsta in your life. Aimed squarely at the under nines, but thoroughly enjoyable by Mum and Dad too.

The perfect show for the little gangsta in your life.  Aimed squarely at the under nines, but thoroughly enjoyable by Mum and Dad too, MC Platypus and Queen Koala are two seriously cool Marsupials.  They bust out a high-energy show full of sick rhymes, bitchin' beats and great humour.  When not arguing about who is the greater Australian icon (“so… which coin are YOU on?” asks MC Platypus, sarcastically) they're dancing, rapping, singing and air-guitaring up a storm.  Lots of audience participation (including the cutest orchestra of little air-musicians you've ever seen).  Near the end of an excellent show, but which was already beginning to test the limits of small attention spans and even smaller bladders, things became slower and more reflective.  This seemed an odd pacing decision.  The kids became restless at that point and the talented duo had to fight a little to win them back once things picked up again.
