The Kazoos started operating in May 2005 and have been working constantly ever since apart from 9 months maternity leave leading up to and around the birth of their second child in November 2006. From the early days of shows without any backing tracks, using just acoustic guitar and their voices, The Kazoos have gone from strength to strength. Betty Bobbitt joined the team as director and co-writer and Cara Dinley was brought in to create the choreography. New costumes, new dance moves, new songs and script and The Kazoos were set for an adventure that seems to have no limit!In 2008 The Kazoos will be touring NSW, Victoria and Tasmania. The tour is being presented by HIT Productions, Australia's premier theatre touring production company.
