Chris Sanders - Hana The Glowworm
Chris Sanders is proud to announce the premiere of his first full scale musical, Hana the Glowworm, following on from the abridged 'Tunes 4 Tamariki' version he launched with Auckland Philharmonia in 2025 and featuring the music from Tūi Award nominated album.
The production is proudly being presented by Centrestage Youth Theatre in Orewa and Angel Star Publishing House.
Hana is the beautiful story of a curious and brave little glowworm with a very bright spirit.
Drawn by the sound of a faraway orchestra flowing through her cave, she begins an adventure to discover the source of the music, along with her new friend, a cave eel.
Deep in the night time forest of Aotearoa they adventure and meet many new friends along the way, including some lost musical instruments! The story is filled with fun that is both daring and dangerous! Can Hana and her friends rescue the concert? Can someone so little save the day?
In 2025, Hana the Glowworm the album was named a finalist for a Tūi Award for Best Children's Artist Album!
Following packed-out performances with Auckland Philharmonia at the Dame Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre and Bruce Mason Centre in 2025, this expanded full-length version premieres at Centrestage Theatre - featuring new songs, more storyline and even more adventure!
