But Why, Dad?

Kids ask the best questions… and in But Why, Dad?, every “why” is an adventure waiting to happen! 


From the creators of the smash-hit All The Things I Wish I Could Be comes a 

brand-new Kiwi musical comedy concert packed with live music, big laughs, and audience participation. 


Join silly dads, Jeff (Jed Parsons) and Tom (Tom Knowles), as they tackle life’s biggest, smallest, silliest and most impossible questions. Why is the sky blue? Why do we dream? Why does Dad wear socks with sandals? No question is too weird, too wonderful, or too wobbly to explore. 


Bursting with catchy original songs, hilarious characters, and plenty of chances to clap, sing, laugh and shoutout your own questions, But Why, Dad? 

is an interactive concert experience the whole family will love. 


Funny, heartfelt and full of curiosity, it’sa joyful celebration of asking questions embracing imagination, and discovering that asking “why” is the greatest super power of all.


Suitable for ages 4+.
