This seasonal production of Julia Donaldson’s ( Gruffalo) ) Stick Man by the amazing Scamp Theatre company proved to be a real hit. Something for adults and children alike, they manage to add their usual sparkle yet again.
The three actors bring the Stick Man to life in imaginative style. With a smattering of good jokes, catchy songs, brilliant voices and live musical accompaniment, you can’t help but enjoy every minute.
Marty has bought his uncle’s farm and he needs our help! Starring the voice of CBEEBIES’ Justin Fletcher as Pongo the Pig and directed by Tweenies creator Ian Lauchlan this is good, honest fun for the little ones.
Presenter Martin Parsons enlists the help of his young audience along with Sheena the Sheep, Molly Moo the Cow and Pongo the Pig to save the farm from Crafy the Crow. Selling wool, milk and Pongo’s joke books at market and singing all the staples along the way including Wheels on the Bus”, the ‘Grand Old Duke of York’ and of course ‘Young Macdonald’!
This is a lovely show that has the kids joining in but not going mad. None of the tack or the’ in yer face’ of some too enthusiastic pantos. My slightly shy-at-first three-year old didn’t get overwhelmed but instead joined in for a change. That’s a winner in eyes! Running at The Leicester Square Theatre.
