A Pinocchio Adventure! What happens after Pinocchio becomes a real boy? Or a real person rather, as the cast of “A Pinocchio Adventure” refer to him at their all festive, fun and immersive theatrical experience for children aged 5 and over this Christmas season?! Well, you can find out at The Garage this December as this sequel version, produced by the team behind the “My First…” productions (of which they also have an offering for pre-schoolers – read more about […]
My First – The Night Before Christmas! The My First production of the season, The Night Before Christmas has launched and is now in full swing until December the 31st at Norwich venue The Garage (a stone’s throw from Chapelfield Gardens) where your little ones can enjoy perhaps their first taste of live theatre in an immersive production which, as they always offer, a setting which is inviting, non frightening and doesn’t mean they have to sit on their bottoms […]
Stick Man Live – Leicester Square Theatre 2023! I’ve been reviewing Stick Man Live at the Leicester Square Theatre for over a decade and honestly, it never gets old. This is the story we read constantly, or listen to on audio (discover a world of audio with Yoto Play) so to see it live is always a real treat too! I’d not ever recommend something that I wouldn’t be prepared to pay for myself (as you know, I have been […]
Into The Snow Globe At The Garage Norwich – A My First Production! The second show in the Imgaitorium at The Garage this festive season launched last night with Into The Snow Globe, an interactive, immersive theatre experience for babies and children up to the age of 5. All In Productions kicked off their double offering with Operation Save Santa, aimed at a slightly older primary aged audience last week and we loved it. This week it’s back to their […]
Operation Save Santa At The Garage – Norwich! In typical me and my disorganised style I rocked up to the preview for All In Productions “Operation Save Santa” at The Garage in Norwich with quite the wrong children for the performance. You see, they are gifting us two this year, this one, which is geared up for 5-10 year olds, and a “My First” production (if you’ve been to their offerings before like the panto or Shakespeare then you’ll be […]
Little Manfred At The Polka Theatre – Wimbledon! It’s been many years since we went to the Polka Theatre, more’s the pity but I feel soon I shall have to rectify this. I used to take the big two when they were little all the time, not because Wimbledon was close to where we lived, far from it, but because it was always so absolutely excellent that it was worth the journey across London and venturing south of the river […]
Sadlers Wells The Snowman At The Peacock Theatre, London! A regular fixture on our calendar has been to see Sadlers Wells The Snowman by the Birmingham Repertory Theatre at the Peacock Theatre in London – we missed last year in the 2020 hiatus and though a slower pace of life and festive build up was actually quite worthwhile I found, there were certain things that we really did feel wistful about – Raymond Briggs’ story of The Snowman in ballet […]
Stick Man Live 2021! For years and years, ever since the big kids were tiny, we have enjoyed seeing Stick Man Live at the theatre in London. We missed last year of course, like lots of things, and it was this missing from our calendar that the kids really noticed. It sort of signals the start of the Christmas build up for us, a bit early I know but it’s so super festive that we can’t help but get into […]
