The Smartest Giant In Town description
Little kids adore this classic story from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, who brought us Room on the Broom. This time around it’s a charming tale about a scruffy giant on a mission to smarten up. Bring your little ones along for a cheerful, colourful, music-filled festive treat.
Do you need to look smart to be loved? The Giant thinks so, but is he right? When he sees a new shop selling enormous clothes he goes in and kits himself out with some lovely new clothes, all shiny and smart. What happens when he meets some animals who need his help? Come along and see.
A new musical adaptation of the beloved children’s book
This new musical adaptation comes from Little Angel Theatre’s artistic director Samantha Lane in collaboration with the award-winning musician Barb Jungr, whose new music, specially written for the show, makes it even more special.
With exciting set and costume design by Kate Bunce, fabulous puppets designed by Judith Hope and cool lighting designed by Sherry Coenen, this is the perfect young children’s theatre production for Christmas. Little Angel Theatre has also adapted Julia Donaldson’s The Singing Mermaid and The Everywhere Bear. Expect the same charm and magic for this festive experience to remember.
