★★★★ “Fast-moving and feisty – a comic heroine for girls to emulate” (The Stage)
Aidy is a normal 8 year old girl… or so she thinks! One day she discovers a family secret that changes everything. Aidy and her granny embark on an adventure that turns their world upside down. They even begin to question what normal is. After all, who wants to be normal when you can be SUPER!
But can Aidy conquer her anger and defeat the baddy before he makes the super nannas invisible?
Aidy the Awesome is a stunning aerial theatre show for all the family to enjoy. Watch the performers fly, zoom and spin through the air!

“Equal parts panto, circus and musical … sure to leave the children for whom it is intended hungry for more theatrical experiences.”
