Play School Live Concert: Humpty’s Big Celebration!

Event

2026 marks a remarkable milestone: Play School, Australia's most beloved children's television program, turns 60. For generations, Play School has been part of the rhythm of childhood, bringing songs, stories and learning into family homes. And just like the show itself, 'play' is timeless.

This joyful live concert invites families to join Humpty as he prepares to put on a Big show. He's planned singing, dancing and even a little magic! But just as the curtain is about to rise, the wheels on the bus get stuck near Old MacDonald's farm! Can Humpty's friends come to the rescue in time to help him put on a fantastic show?

Featuring Australia's favourite presenters and cherished toys, Big Ted, Little Ted, Jemima, Kiya and Fergus, this 40-minute concert promises fun for little ones and the young at heart.
