There’s A Monster In Your Show is heading to the Granville Theatre in Ramsgate as part of a major UK theatre tour.
The critically acclaimed production will play at The Granville on Tuesday 12 November and Wednesday 13 November.
Tom Fletcher’s interactive adventures for big imaginations, based on the ‘Who’s in Your Book?’ series, leapt from page to stage in October 2023 and quickly became a must-see family musical theatre show.
There’s A Monster In Your Show has now been seen by some 25,000 youngsters and their families, having recently completed its second tour and a Summer Season at the famous Riverside Studios in London.
The high-energy 50-minute adventure features original music written by Tom Fletcher and Barrie Bignold and a host of characters come to life in a show that is packed with interactive moments.
Tom Fletcher said: “It’s been an amazing experience to see ‘There’s a Monster In Your Book,’ come to life on stage and to meet the characters that I invented in my head! It’s been incredible to be a part of developing the show and combining my love of writing books and stories with writing some of the songs for the production.
“When we began this journey at the beginning of 2023, I couldn’t have dreamed that we’d have toured the country for nearly a year, had a residency in London and be heading out on a third national tour this autumn! It’s testimony to the extraordinary puppeteers and the gorgeous puppets.”
In There’s a Monster In Your Show a group of performers are preparing to start their show, but quickly discover they are not alone on stage. Little Monster wants to be part of the fun too!
With an invitation to his friends, Dragon, Alien and Unicorn to join him, there is comedy and chaos in a magical show, learning about the joy of books and friendship along the way.
The cast features actor/puppeteers Andrew Cullimore (Sarah and Duck, The Smurfs, The Very Hungry Caterpillar), Charlie Daniels (Hey Duggee, Sarah and Duck’s Big Top Birthday and His Dark Materials BBC), Vinnie Monachello (Hey Duggee: The Live Theatre Show, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, In The Night Garden Live), Ben Murrell (In The Night Garden Live, Twirlywoos Live, Very Hungry Caterpillar, Elmer and the Patchwork Elephant, Goosebumps Alive’) and Sarah Palmer (Oi Frog and Friends Live, Hey Duggee! The Live Theatre Show).
The production is presented by MEI Theatrical, the team who have brought some of the world’s best loved family brands to the stage including Twirlywoos Live, Sarah & Duck and The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show.
