Presented by: Musical Theatre Dunedin

Firebringer is the viral hit musical comedy originally produced by StarKid Productions, and produced for Dunedin Fringe Festival 2023 by Musical Theatre Dunedin with 100% locally produced costumes, set and performances.


A new musical comedy following the journey of prehistoric humanity at the dawn of history. The tribe, led by the capable Jamilla, live in a world where everything is new. United, they forage for nuts and berries, watch grass grow, worship a Duck God, and shelter in a cave from the terror of Snarl.


Zazzalil, however, has made a discovery that will change the course of humanity forever. The old way of life is about to be upturned, the tribe will undergo a baptism by Fire as they unleash forces none of them can comprehend. Their lives will never be the same. Welcome to the Stone Age! Welcome to Firebringer!


Fantastically charming, this laugh a minute story is presented by 12 local actors, singers and dancers.


Boasting a score of 17 catchy songs, the music makes stunning use of satisfying close vocal harmony. Paired with excellent evocative dance, Firebringer showcases the immense quality of Dunedin performance.


Firebringer is a show unlike any other musical. Crass, irreverent, clever, heartwarming and with insightful critique, this show is a guaranteed people pleaser.


Come along to Musical Theatre Dunedin, grab a cold drink from the bar, let your hair down and laugh along with the cast of Firebringer! Runtime includes a 20-30 minute interval.
