About   |   Gallery   |   Media   |   Tickets Even as he travels the globe on tour again this summer with Russell Hitchcock, the other half of his famed 80s hitmaking duo Air Supply, singer/songwriter Graham Russell is looking forward to the fall debut of “Petalbump,” his exciting new children’s musical that features six new songs, 30 cast members (all but two of whom are children), an incredible light show, a full orchestra and performers from the children’s dance company at Vibe Performing Arts. The world premiere of “Petalbump” is scheduled to run for five shows October 27-31 at The Rose Wagner Theatre in Salt Lake City, Utah. The 500-seat opera house is located at 138 W. Broadway. Originally conceived as a ballet, Petalbump has been refashioned to also include elements of hip-hop, ballroom and other styles of dancing. “Petalbump’s” narrative revolves around a woman in her 30s returning to her childhood home and entering a fantasy world as a ten year old with the help of a lead fairy named Petalbump. Her childhood was cut short by the death of her parents, and as she packs up her house while preparing to sell it, she uncovers artifacts from her youth that lead her through a magic door into an idyllic world that has been waiting many years for her return. Ultimately, she decides not to sell her house. “I really love everything about this show, from the marriage of the music and the dance element to the uplifting theme,” says Russell. “It’s a project that’s unique from any other I have worked on in my career. The story is essentially about believing in yourself. If you stop, the whole world falls apart.” Featuring dancers from Vibe Performing Arts, and choreography by Rick Robinson, Kellie Messerly, and Alan Salazar, we invite you to join us at Rose Wagner in October for Petalbump.
