"It's a performance in itself being a conductor," she said.

"We are also playing the Chicken Run medley and Guantanamera by Julio Iglesias, not your typical repertoire from a symphony orchestra.

"Especially for those who think classical music isn't their thing, (this show) is a lot more accessible for everyone."

Beal said the show gave identity to the different instruments in the orchestra and made people listen to the theme and personality for each character and the sounds the instruments produce.

Audience members will be encouraged to participate in the performance and get into costume for the different characters.

"Bringing in guests such as Harry (Price) as the narrator, and Deon (Cameron) and Cindy (Lee Morgan) as the audience participation leaders, the show is very interactive and very entertaining," she said.

"I'm hoping it is not just children and families coming along, but people who remember the music from their childhood.

"Children don't have to sit quietly, they are encouraged to get up and be part of it, to get up and dance during some of the numbers.

"It's not a classical concert in that they are expected to sit quietly and not move.

"The orchestra will be very colourful as well, we are changing the stereotypes a little bit."

Warrnambool Symphony Orchestra will run two performances in the Lighthouse Studio on Sunday, November 24 at 2pm and 4pm, with the Robin Wright Strings and magician Dr Nick also performing.

Tickets are available from the Lighthouse Theatre, with more information on the theatre website or Warrnambool Symphony Orchestra Facebook page.
