Peppa Pig makes a splash

CHILDREN’S television character Peppa Pig will be making a splash  at the Opera House with an all-new show.

Peppa Pig’s Big Splash follows previous hit productions Peppa Pig’s Party and Peppa Pig’s Treasure Hunt.

There will be puppets and sing-a-long songs from BAFTA award-winning composer Mani Svavarsson bring to life an all new adventure for Peppa and her pals.

Martin Ronan, executive producer, said: “Fiery Light are delighted to be presenting their third live Peppa show in 2013-2014.

“Following the huge success of Peppa Pig’s Party and Peppa Pig’s Treasure Hunt comes the biggest tour yet for Peppa.

“Touring the UK and Ireland for 53 weeks, Peppa Pig’s Big Splash will be a fun-packed experience for all Peppa fans.

“In this 10th anniversary year of Peppa being a family favourite, we hope the new show will thrill fans up and down the country.”

This time, the story is that the nursery roof is leaking and Peppa and her friends need to fix it quickly.

They set up a fete to raise the money for Mr Bull to do the repairs. There’s plenty of fun to be had as Peppa, George, Mummy and Daddy Pig, as well as Danny Dog, Pedro Pony and Suzy Sheep put up bunting, run stalls and organise a great day out.

There will also be a Champion Puddle Jumping competition judged by Mr Potato where everyone gets wet and Peppa needs to find her Golden Boots.

Another all-singing, all-dancing adventure full of songs, games and muddy puddles is guaranteed for all the family.

Richard Lewis adapts and directs, following his previous successes with the first two Peppa Pig stage shows and the recent Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom tour.

Matt Lewis is lyricist, Simon Scullion is designer, Matt Haskins is lighting designer, Ian Horrocks Taylor is sound designer and Andy Booth is music director.
