The Unusual Theatre Company’s hit production of Stiles and Drewe’s The 3 Little Pigs is heading back out on the road for the summer.

Directed by Victoria Gimby (associate director for Rock of Ages UK tour) with musical direction by Flynn Sturgeon (Soho Cinders, Charing Cross Theatre), the family-friendly production will visit Stanley Arts in South Norwood (10 July), Tunbridge Wells Fringe Festival (17 July), Battersea’s Turbine Theatre on the Jetty (4-7 August) and the Underbelly Festival in Cavendish Square (19-21 August).

Produced by Alistair Lindsay for The Unusual Theatre Company and featuring projection design by Charles Willis-Osborne, The 3 Little Pigs stars Lizzie Wofford who returns as Mummy Pig with Harry Winchester as The Big Bad Wolf, Harry Cooper-Millar as Barr, Savannah Hall as Bee and Aaron Bladen as Q. Heather Kirk will re-join the cast as Super Swing Pig (walking cover Bar, Bee and Q).

With music by George Stiles and a book and lyrics by Anthony Drewe (Mary Poppins, Half A Sixpence and The Wind In The Willows), the musical was commissioned by the Singapore Repertory Theatre as the first in a trilogy of folktale-inspired ‘trios’ (with Goldilocks and The Three Bears and The Three Billy Goats Gruff).

The show premiered with a sold-out season in Singapore in 2012 and a year later became the first children’s show selected for the National Alliance For Musical Theatre’s Festival of New Musicals in New York.

The 3 Little Pigs made its West End debut at the Palace Theatre in 2015 with a production starring former boyband star Simon Webbe (Sister Act The Musical) as the Big Bad Wolf and Olivier Award-winner Alison Jiear (Jerry Springer The Opera) as Mummy Pig.
