THE STAGE IS SET FOR TWIRLYWOO TAKEOVER
POPULAR TV show Twirlywoos is taking to the stage for the first time, with a new theatre tour beginning this month.
Until now, characters from the wonderful CBeebies show could only be seen on the small screen, but MEI Theatrical is bringing them all to life.
Toodloo, Great BigHoo, Chickedy, Chick and Peekaboo will be packing their bags as we speak and getting ready to set sail around the UK in a great new adventure.
Producers promise mischief, music and plenty of surprises as the Twirlywoos embark on a voyage onboard their Big Red Boat.
They also say that with beautifully inventive puppetry, Twirlywoos Live! promises to be a laugh-out-loud treat for little ones.
It’s the latest production from MEI Theatrical, whose other recent shows include Sarah and Duck Live on Stage (Polka Theatre and UK Tour) and The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show (West End).
It is written by Zoe Bourn, who has already adapted some of the world’s best-loved children’s titles for the stage, including Thomas and Friends and Fireman Sam Live!
Twirlywoos was first broadcast on CBeebies in 2015. It celebrated its 100th episode in 2017, and is co-created by Anne Wood – who has devised shows like the Teletubbies – and Steve Roberts who, with Anne, co-created the Bafta-winning CBeebies series Dipdap.
Twirlywoos Live! is perfect for children aged one and over – and babes in arms are welcome too!
The running time is 55 minutes with no interval.
