Laurence Miller, Nimax Theatres said today: “In fifteen years of daytime family programming at Nimax Theatres, Blippi is the first family show to sell out before the first performance. It’s a massive hit! We at Nimax are delighted to have been the host for the UK premiere of Blippi The Musical, and are thrilled it will be coming back for another run over Christmas! I think it’s great that kids get another opportunity to see Blippi The Musical, especially during the festive period. This really is a fantastic show that incorporates all that Blippi is about - bring on Christmas!”
