PEPPA PIG'S PARTY Coming to Wexford Opera House, April 5th

By: Caryn Robbins Mar. 10, 2011

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 coming to Wexford Opera House for 2 shows on Tuesday, April 5 at 1pm & 4pm.

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 experienced puppet specialist. His many credits include Monkey (who appears alongside Al/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. This is a hugely interactive show, where the audience can sing along. All the voice work and songs are performed live by the talented cast.

For those who unfamiliar with this global children's phenomenon, 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. This charming, original and imaginative show is full of brand new songs, muddy puddles, and oinks!
