繼前作《動物嘉年華》大獲好評，La Sax再來玩轉色士「瘋」！十位色士風樂手化身為奇趣可愛的動物，因小誤會大戰七七四十九個回合，幸而遇上「劇院管理員」Harry 哥哥出手，施展神奇魔法居中調解。在跳躍的音符之間，連串笑彈一觸即發，小心笑破肚皮！
現場演繹一系列古典、爵士、現代音樂作品，穿插幾首耳熟能詳的樂曲，再配以魔術、互動環節等舞台演出。

Riding on the resounding success of the last production Saxo Carnival of the Animals, La Sax teamed up with the acclaimed Hong Kong magician and children entertainer Harry Wong, casting as the “theatre manager”, to take audience on a spectacular musical parade of the “animals” by La Sax, amazing magic and toe-tapping fun. Interspersed between lively musical notes are explosions of laughters. Musical selections included classical, jazz and modern pieces, plus a few familiar tunes, a little magic tricks and time for exciting audience engagement.
