In Small Poppy, Gabbi Bolt blends musical comedy with sharp observational humour; building a show around success and asking how you’re meant to define it.
From receiving an award from her former high school to questioning what actually counts as ‘making it’, Bolt moves between personal stories, industry realities and bigger ideas about ambition. Along the way, she weaves in everything from ancient Rome comparisons to modern politics, and what it really takes to build a career in the arts.
With piano at the centre (a skill she’s honed since the age of three), the show jumps between songs, storytelling and commentary, all while exploring ideas of being a personality hire, an ‘it’ girl and her quest to find her name on a mug.
