Emus on the Loose, An Emu-sical is a fun, Family musical in one act about four self-involved emus who get loose from their farm in Kalamazoo. They go on a thrilling adventure visiting some of Michigan’s iconic locations all while avoiding the sheriff! The emus visit Michigan’s capitol in Lansing, cruise around the Motor City, take a ferry to Mackinac Island, and find some thrills in Muskegon.  Can they learn to work together to get home? Or will they be EMUS ON THE LOOSE?

Emus on the Loose the musical is an adaptation of the hit children’s book based on real events. In 2022, emus escaped Llama Woods Farm in Oshtemo Township. The story went viral on social media, with people sharing the deputy’s body cam footage and funny posts about marking themselves safe from stampeding emus. Packed with fun facts about emus and Michigan, Emus on the Loose will have kids and their adults looking for lots of hidden details and jokes (all while secretly learning about the great state of Michigan)!

Join us for crafts, snacks, and a Meet & Greet with the emu characters after each show!
