Koo Koo Ka Choo | Royal NZ Ballet

Koo Koo Ka Choo, according to the Internet's Urban Dictionary, means awesome, cool and sweet. In our first collaborative choreographic work, we have used the popular lyrics of John Lennon and Paul McCartney to create a piece dedicated to love. Being hopeless in love. Being head-over-heels in love. Being self-absorbed in love. Even being jaded in love. Really, all you need is love.

We got by with a little help from our friends, especially Kat Sprowell. Kat's tenacity ensured that the impossible became the possible. So sit back, enjoy and feel free to sing along!
