Originally an Oscar-winning film, Little Miss Sunshine is now a stage musical – and it’s coming to Stirling Theatre this November.

Written by William Finn and James Lapine and directed by Tyler Eldridge, the story follows an incredibly dysfunctional family as they cross the US in a clapped-out Kombi van so their youngest daughter can take part in a regional children’s beauty pageant.

Everything that could go wrong, does go wrong, and people should expect the same hilarious story from the film, as they travel from Albuquerque to Rodondo Beach, California. But the musical takes this story and adds a lot of heart – be prepared for some really moving moments.

Little Miss Sunshine plays at 8pm November 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, 29, 30 and December 1 with 2pm matinees November 18 and 25. Tickets are $25, $22 concession – book through Morris News on 9446 9120 or at www.trybooking.com/XMJH.

Stirling Theatre is on Morris Place, Innaloo.
