UK TOUR OF BRAND NEW PEPPA PIG SHOW
visits Theatre Royal Nottingham 17-18 July 2018
Peppa Pig and her friends are back in a brand new live show Peppa Pig’s Adventure, featuring a new story, loads of songs and heaps of fun!
Produced by leading children’s theatre team Fiery Light, in partnership with licensor Entertainment One (eOne), Peppa Pig’s Adventure marks the ninth consecutive year of Peppa Pig live theatre tours since 2009 and the fifth Peppa Pig stage production in total. The production will visit the Theatre Royal Nottingham on Tuesday 17 & Wednesday 18 July 2018.
Join Peppa as she gets ready to go on an exciting camping trip to the woods with George and her school friends, including Pedro Pony, Suzy Sheep and Gerald Giraffe. With lunch-boxes packed and Daddy Pig driving the bus, Peppa and her friends are excited about their outdoor adventure, full of games, laughter and live music!
The happy campers soon settle down to sleep and listen to the gentle pitter patter of rain. Safe and warm inside their tents the excited group can look forward to morning time, when there will be lots of muddy puddles to play in!
Richard Lewis once again takes the helm for this new live stage adaptation of eOne’s popular animated TV series which he directs and has adapted for the theatre. He has also adapted and directed the four previous Peppa Pig live stage shows, Peppa Pig’s Party, Peppa Pig’s Treasure Hunt, Peppa Pig’s Big Splash and Peppa Pig’s Surprise. The show features music from BAFTA award-winning composer Mani Svavarsson.
Audiences will enjoy interactive fun, songs and games with Peppa Pig and her friends. Peppa Pig’s Adventure promises to be the perfect theatre show for all pre-schoolers. Suitable for ages 3+.

Q and A with Richard Lewis, Director of Peppa Pig’s Adventure
What can we expect from Peppa’s brand new outing?
Peppa Pig’s Adventure takes us on a camping trip with Peppa and friends led by Madame Gazelle and Daddy Pig. There are lots of stories to be
told and songs to sing before they all head off on their exciting adventures – and all the children are invited to come along.
What makes the Peppa Pig live on stage so special for a young audience?
The children and parents who come along to see Peppa live on stage will have been following her adventures through the animated television
series. They love to see all the characters and what they get up to. Here they have an added thrill because, there, in front of all their eyes, are their
heroes in 3D talking directly to them and inviting them to come on their adventures. When Peppa herself walks on stage the children go
absolutely wild with excitement!
Is there some magic to presenting Peppa Pig live on stage?
The magic is already there – the characters are the magic. However, you do have to take into consideration the concentration span of younger
children. I make sure that something new happens on stage at least every 9 to 12 seconds: this can be a new character coming on stage, or a new
song, or some sort of audience participation. Parents love the characters too and we find that they become just as involved as their children,
which makes the whole family experience one that is truly magical. I am lucky in that I was a drama teacher in a past life and that has given me
great insight into what appeals to children on the stage.
What’s new to look forward to in this latest adventure?
As well as a new story for audiences to enjoy, all the songs are original and written specifically for our pre-school audience. We are especially
excited to have Gerald the Giraffe join us along with Madame Gazelle for the very first time and many more of Peppa’s friends.
Who decides what adventures Peppa will be going on when she takes to the stage?
I am extremely lucky and privileged to have the task of adapting Peppa’s stories for the stage. And two very creative musicians supply all the new
musical material, they are called Mani and Matt. They have written 7 new songs for this latest adventure.
Have you any final words for all those excited children who can’t wait to see Peppa live?
We have another great Peppa adventure for children their friends and family. It’s colourful, exciting, joyful and fun for all. But more importantly,
Peppa can’t wait to meet you all.
