Ocean Park Stages Hong Kong’s First McDull-themed Music Theatre Show
McDull is an adorable piglet created in Hong Kong, and made his early appearance as a comic book character. As the stories captured the hearts of locals in Hong Kong, McDull, as well as his family and friends were brought to life through animated movies. Ocean Park invites McDull and his mum, Mrs Mak, to stage the first-ever McDull-themed music theatre show in Hong Kong, “McDull • Fishball On The Run”. Featuring plenty of songs and dances, Hong Kong-style humour and touching stories, the show sets to be a big hit among family guests. Guests can also take photos with the loveable characters at the “McDull and McMug Meet & Greet” at Old Hong Kong, and bring home some McDull-themed merchandise as keepsakes of their marvellous time at Ocean Park Hong Kong!
