Written and produced in Sydney in the early 1990s, Funky Zoo was performed over 30 times between November 1992 and October 1993 at venues such as Bondi Pavilion and Darling Harbour. Its song “Funky Zoo” was nominated for the Australasian Performing Right Association’s Children’s Song of the Year 1993. The show blends modern Australian dialogue, environmental themes and rock music into a West‑End‑style performance.
