A Polka Theatre production

 

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. A gorgeous, funky fairytale for lovers of ALL music, based on award-winning author, Hannah Lee and Allen Fatimaharan’s inspirational children’s book.

Developed with support from Z Arts.

This is a brand-new production and information on the show may change. 

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