Hot Potato: The Story of The Wiggles
Australia
World Premiere event with all members of The Wiggles past and present, plus director Sally Aitken in attendance.
This is the improbable story of The Wiggles, four friends who recorded a one-off album of children’s music in the early ‘90s and changed the global music industry forever. Recognisable by their blue, red, yellow and purple skivvies, Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Greg Page, and Jeff Fatt become an unlikely music phenomenon equipped with early childhood teaching fundamentals and a dose of self-belief. Surmounting numerous rejections from industry producers, The Wiggles take their career into their own hands and become the most successful children’s act of all time. Hot Potato: The Story of The Wiggles is a backstage pass to one of the world's greatest entertainment stories and features decades of personal archive and intimate access to their sell-out shows. It’s the story of a life of music, friendship, joy and the enduring power of the child in all of us.

6.30pm panel with The Wiggles and director Sally Aitken, followed by the Premiere Screening of Hot Potato: The Story of The Wiggles. Q+A moderated by Angela Bishop.
