In what promises to be a hilarious show with huge musical numbers, plenty of kid-friendly humour and larger than life characters, the show will gently convey the book's important messages about the value of family and friendship.
The art House will host Billionaire Boy on May 20 and 21.
Billionaire Boy follows the story of the horribly spoilt Joe Spud.
After his Dad made eleventy squillion dollars inventing Bumfresh toilet wipes, 12-year-old Joe had everything a boy could ever want including a golden underwater Ferrari, his own bowling alley and cinema, but all he really wanted is a friend.
Billionaire Boy author David Walliams is best known for his work as an actor and writer for the TV show, Little Britain, along with his appearance as a judge on Britain's Got Talent.
However, since 2000 Walliams has also become the UK's biggest selling children's author.
He has sold more than four million copies of his books in the UK alone and has been tipped to be the next Roald Dahl.
Described by Artsplorers (a bog about the 'marvelous place' where children and the arts meet) as reaching "both funny bones and hearts".
Eventually, Joe learns that money can't buy you everything and sometimes the best way to be a friend is to simply be there for them.
The adaption is by CDP Kids, a major children's theatre company well-known for its high-quality productions, that are adaptations of popular books.
The Art House has presented several of CDP's productions since it opened in 2016, including Room on the Broom, Horrible Harriet and The Gruffalo's Child.
Billionaire Boy will be on stage at The Art House on May 20 and 21.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for children and $75 for a family of four.
