Half-term holiday fun for all the family

Little Baby Bum Live, St David’s Hall, Cardiff

WITH more than 15 million subscribers and 16 billion views, Little Baby Bum is nothing short of a YouTube sensation, capturing the imaginations of kids worldwide.

Acclaimed children’s theatre and television writer and director Miranda Larson has now brought the hugely popular programme to life onstage. Little Baby Bum Live comes to St David’s Hall for four fun-filled family performances on Monday, October 29 (12.30pm & 3pm) and Tuesday, October 30 (10.30am & 2pm).

Miranda said: “I left university and almost fell into local children’s theatre, putting on shows with kids and for kids during the school holidays.

“With me being a big kid myself it became a natural fit. I’ve always had a passion for theatre and working with children, capturing childhood and bringing that out in a show just clicked.

“So whether it’s children’s theatre or television, it’s all I’ve done since.

“When I first watched Little Baby Bum on YouTube, it was the characters, the community and the bright engaging look of it that I immediately fell in love with. I knew there was something exciting we could do with the characters of Little Baby Bum, who children know and love already.

“As human beings, regardless of our age, we all connect through character because it is emotion to emotion – how they look, react and move.

“With Little Baby Bum Live I wanted to bring out that heart to the community, the friendships among the characters and build on the dynamic which already exists in the animated videos, and has captured the imaginations of so many children.

“The show is fast-paced with over 17 songs, many of which you and your children will love and recognise.

There’s a lot of participation – we want the children to join in as they’re part of this Little Baby Bum community.”
