Peppa Pig’s Party coming to a theatre near you
E1 Entertainment is bringing Peppa Pig to a theatre near you, as Peppa Pig’s Party gets ready to tour the UK.
Seven UK venues have been confirmed for the autumn run, with a further 60 venues to be announced for 2010. Peppa Pig’s birthday will be the theme of the production, which will mix the loveable characters from the TV show with songs and audience participation.
Booking is now taking place through the Peppa Pig Live website.
Produced by Fiery Angel, which already has LazyTown, The Fimbles and Hi-5 shows to its credit, Peppa Pig’s Party will feature puppetry from Nigel Plaskitt and music from LazyTown composer Mani Svavarsson. Richard Lewis will direct.
“Bringing one of the UK’s best-loved children’s programmes to the stage is both a wonderful treat for her fans and a marvellous opportunity to raise the already high public awareness of the brand even further,” said E1 Entertainment’s Hannah Mungo. “ But we would not have attempted it without a partner that could provide a strong background in high-quality theatre production and an in-depth understanding of the children’s entertainment market.
“Fiery Angel clearly offers these qualities as well as the creative talent and experience needed to bring the fun, warmth and laughter of Peppa Pig to the stage – and we feel sure that children and their parents will agree when they see this delightful show.”
