A PLAYFUL and imaginative family show based on books by Tom Fletcher will be roaring to life at Warrington’s Parr Hall next year.Playful
Leaping from page to stage, There’s a Monster in your Show has been adapted from the McFly star, The Voice UK judge and children’s author’s beloved Who’s In Your Book? series.
It will be making its debut as a new interactive musical show next year, including two Warrington dates on Saturday and Sunday April 26 and 27.
The high energy 50-minute adventure has been designed for young children and has been described by the creators as the perfect introduction to live theatre for little ones.
It tells the story of a group of performers who are preparing to start their show, but quickly discover they are not alone on stage.
Little Monster wants to be part of the fun too! With an invitation to his friends, Dragon, Alien and Unicorn to join him, you can expect comedy and chaos as they help to create a magical show, learning about the joy of books and friendship along the way.
Over the past decade, Tom Fletcher has become one of the UK’s most popular children’s authors.
His books have been translated into 38 languages and to date he has sold more than five million copies of his books in the UK alone.
He said: “I’m so excited to see There’s a Monster In Your Book come to life on stage! The whole journey is incredibly exciting and I can’t wait to get to rehearsals to meet the puppets.
“Theatre is such an important way to introduce children to the arts and There’s a Monster In Your Show is the perfect first theatre trip for pre-schoolers and their families. I’m so looking forward to seeing their reactions first-hand.”
The show has been adapted by Zoe Bourn (Thomas & Friends, Fireman Sam, Mr Men Little Miss) who is a keen advocate of children’s literacy and the accessibility of story books.
And it is being brought to the stage by MEI Theatrical, the team behind the likes of Twirlywoos Live, Sarah & Duck and The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show.
