About
Get ready for pawsome fun as Wyong Musical Theatre Company presents Paws and Claws, a delightful family musical bursting with energy, humour and heart. Loosely based on the timeless stories of Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story, this playful tale reimagines classic rivalries through the eyes of cats and dogs who just can’t seem to get along — until friendship changes everything.
Featuring a talented cast of young performers aged 7–17, Paws and Claws showcases big ensemble numbers, catchy original songs and a strong message about empathy, teamwork and learning to see the world from someone else’s point of view. With colourful characters, laugh-out-loud moments and a satisfying, feel-good ending, this community production is perfect for audiences of all ages and a wonderful celebration of youth theatre and collaboration.
Paws and Claws is published and licensed by The School Musicals Company.
