About

Shiloh is a little Princess with a BIG love for music. She’s got one problem though, she can’t sing.

But she’s about to embark on a musical journey to discover her own incredible talent – a voice that is totally, uniquely, and rhythmically all hers!

Join Shiloh as she adventures through all genres of music to discover a love for rapping, with a little help from some singing friends and puppets along the way.

Join us for a free book signing with author Hannah Lee! Available for ticketholders of either performances on 20 June. 

Based on the original book ‘The Rapping Princess’ published by Faber & Faber. Written by Hannah Lee and illustrated by Allen Fatimaharan.
