The Redgrave Theatre in Bristol has an amazing variety of shows coming up, from comedy to music, magic to big name entertainer. We’ve listed a few of the family show highlights that we’re really looking forward to
Three Little Pigs
25-27 Oct
Once upon a time, in a muddy field by the sea, there lived Three Little Pigs.
Following the huge success of The Three Billy Goats Gruff, Lost The Plot Theatrical hit the road with another family classic…
It’s time to get blown away in this brand-new musical adventure of The Three Little Pigs!
Join our three pigs as they excitedly leave the family sty in search of new adventures! Will they make a pig’s ear out of it or will they raise the roof? It’ll take brains, bravery and curly-tails to build bridges and forge friendships with each other and those they meet along the way.
Get those trotters tapping and those snouts a-squealin’ with new catchy songs, dancing and plenty of audience participation for piglets of all ages.
There’s snout left to do but book your tickets for this oink-tastic musical!
Stick Man
17-19 Nov
Touching, funny and utterly original, Freckle Productions’ delightful adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s Stick Man is back in town!
What starts off as a morning jog becomes quite the misadventure for Stick Man: a dog wants to play fetch with him, a swan builds a nest with him and he even ends up on a fire! How will Stick Man ever get back to the family tree?
This award-winning production, from the team behind Zog and Zog and the Flying Doctors, features a trio of top actors and is packed full of puppetry, songs, live music and funky moves.
