High kicks, huge twists and brand new fairytale endings.
It’s time to tell the REAL story of The PEA and the Princess, one which no one has ever heard before.
Leap into a high velocity adventure, into the world of a Ninja Princess on a mega-mission, a practical Prince concocting the best inventions, a Queen with a slightly worrying crown obsession, and a very green baddy indeed.
Featuring super catchy songs, some familiar fairytale faces and a brand-new twist-in-the-tale, this a story that you definitely wouldn’t want to sleep on!

A festive, magical quest for the whole family.
When squabbling siblings Clara and Fritz receive a mysterious Nutcracker toy from their flamboyant Aunty Drosselmeyer, Clara is certain that she doesn't want her accident-prone younger brother anywhere near it!
But with rumours of an evil many-headed Mouse King trying to ruin Christmas in their new family home, Clara might just need the help of Fritz to save the day.
Join Olivier award-winning Little Bulb ("Wolf Witch Giant Fairy") and Polka Theatre for a brand-new magical, musical quest inspired by the story of ‘The Nutcracker’. Full of surprising rodent singalongs and featuring a sleigh-load of familiar festive bangers that’ll have you dancing in your seat.
Please be aware this production contains haze.

Live music, songs, puppetry and fun combine to tell this classic tale from the same team that brought you ‘Three Billy Goats Gruff’ and ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’.
