After sell-out performances in 2024 and traveling the country in 2025, _The Great Grumpy Gaboon_ returns to Glasgow in 2026 for a relaxed, fun-packed matinee performance at City Halls.

While the Gaboon’s friends: Long-legged Lin, Fluey-Lu, Woolly Wello and Hoppity Boppit, try everything to cheer the Gaboon up, none of them realise that the musical mischief maker, Screature, is lurking in the shadows of the orchestra.

Screature holds the key to the Gaboon’s mood and only with the help of the All-Knowing Umpet, a wise and kindly creature, can the friends solve the mystery of the Gaboon’s grumps.

Join the Grumpy Gaboon and friends on this fun, musical adventure as together they discover the importance of friendship and forgiveness.

Relaxed performance suitable for 4-8 yrs - BSL interpreted.

Commissioned by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra
