ALIENS LOVE UNDERPANTS to Close 31 August at Leicester Square Theatre
By: Tyler Peterson
The strictly limited West End season of ALIENS LOVE UNDERPANTS finishes on Sunday 31 August at Leicester Square Theatre. Based on the hugely successful children's book by Claire Freedman and Ben Cort, some seats are still available to book for the few remaining performances, including the Bank Holiday Weekend.
The story of the mischievous aliens who come to earth on an important mission to steal everybody's underpants has stunning effects, madcap action, original music and lots of crazy aliens of course!
This zany and hilarious tale, adapted and directed by Adam Bampton-Smith, is being brought to life on stage for the very first time. Adam Bampton-Smith is the Artistic Director of Big Wooden Horse Theatre Company which he founded in 2004. He has written and produced The Legend of Perseus, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, The Night Before Christmas and The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus as well as adapting for the stage the Oliver Jeffers books The Way Back Home and STUCK. First published in 2007, the UK edition of Aliens Love Underpants has sold more than two million copies and has become a firm family favourite. It was listed as the most borrowed children's book from UK libraries in 2013, and it has been translated into 46 languages. Claire Freedman and Ben Cort have also enjoyed great success with their books Aliens in Underpants Save the World, Dinosaurs Love Underpants, Pirates Love Underpants, Aliens Love Panta Claus and Monstersaurus!, and their new book Monsters Love Underpants will be published this autumn. Ben also illustrated the recent children's edition of Ringo Starr's Octopus's Garden.
