You love them on the TV, now see Pip and Posy live in a brand-new stage show bursting with friendship and play in the debut UK Tour in 2027! Inspired by the BAFTA-nominated animated series from Magic Light Pictures and based on the picture books by multi-award-winning illustrator Axel Scheffler (The Gruffalo), Pip and Posy Live celebrates the power of imagination, kindness and creativity for little ones and families everywhere.
Pip and Posy are best friends whose lives revolve around the world of play. Their stories are a joyful celebration of friendship in all its forms – the laughter, the ups and downs, the silliness and care. Together with their friends Mo and Jamila, they head off on a thrilling adventure through tangled jungles, across slimy swamps and high above the clouds aboard a big red balloon. Just watch out, the Troll is after the treasure!
First published in 2011 by Nosy Crow, the Pip and Posy books have sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. Distributed across more than 30 territories and translated into 34 different languages, the much-loved stories have captured the imaginations of young readers around the globe.
A Fierylight, Mayflower Southampton and Little Angel Theatre co-production, Pip and Posy Live on Stage is written and directed by Samantha Lane, with music and lyrics by Barb Jungr. Set, puppets and props are designed by Karl Evans Studio, with lighting designed by Andy Cook.
The show features talented cast, Jake Pratt (Matilda the Musical, West End) as Pip, Bethan Haney (Peppa Pig My First Concert, US Tour) as Posy, and Paige Leavy (I Want My Hat Back Trilogy, Little Angel Theatre Company) as Mo and Jamila. Emily Rose Sutherland (Beauty and the Beast, Stratford Playhouse) is understudy and ASM.
