PEPPA Pig is currently one of TV's top-rated children's shows and a BAFTA Award winner. Now, for the first time ever, she has her own live stage show which will be stopping off at Harrogate Theatre as part of a national tour on Wednesday, March 17 and Thursday, March 18.
Many creative talents have come together to assemble this exciting new production where the main characters are played by puppets with visible puppeteers:
Nigel Plaskitt is Puppetry Consultant for the show and is, arguably, the UK's most experienc
ed puppet specialist.
His many credits include Monkey (who appears alongside Al played by Johnny Vegas) in the current award-winning commercials for PG Tips; Spitting Image and the current West End hit show Avenue Q.
The music comes from LazyTown's highly talented composer Mani Svavarsson whose songs are well known to children and parents.
Director Richard Lewis (who has also adapted Peppa Pig for stage) has many acclaimed children's stage shows to his credit, including Fimbles and the two LazyTown Live! tours.
Peppa Pig's Party is produced by Fiery Angel and Limelight Productions, the team behind the recent tours of LazyTown Live! and Roald Dahl's The BFG.
Peppa is a playful little pig who lives with her little brother George, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig.
Through everyday adventures she plays games, makes new friends and enjoys her absolutely favourite activity – jumping up and down in muddy puddles! Today is a very special day. It's Peppa Pig's birthday. Peppa Pig's Party is a chance for all her young friends to join in the fun with Suzy Sheep, Danny Dog and Emily Elephant for her perfect party. This charming, original and imaginative show is full of brand new songs, muddy puddles, and oinks!
Magically created using puppets and in-keeping with the TV shows gentle and simple approach, even the smallest of tots will enjoy the show at a very manageable one hour 20 minutes.
Tickets cost £14.50 for adults and £12.50 for children with family tickets available at £50 for a family of four.
Tickets can be booked securely online at www.harrogatetheatre.co.uk or through the Harrogate Theatre Box Office on 01423 502 116.
