Stage is set for In the Night Garden Live show
THE smash-hit In the Night Garden Live is currently on a first ever tour of UK theatres with a brand new show. Take a spectacular journey into the magical world of In the Night Garden and experience the UK’s favourite family show with all the enchanting characters from the popular children’s TV show magically brought to life on stage.
The 2019 tour will also see a first, as the Pinky Ponk Air Orb soars over the heads of In the Night Garden Live audiences – the first time an effect like this has been used in theatres anywhere in the UK.
The new flying Pinky Ponk uses cutting-edge, patented aerodynamic technology pioneered by German
company Airstage, who have designed and built similar Air Orbs all over the world, including for the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics and the Radio City Musical Hall Christmas Spectacular in New York.
Executive producer Oliver Seadon said: “We’ve toured In the Night Garden Live in our own venue for the last 10 years and audiences always felt like they were being transported into the Night Garden.
“We knew that when we brought the show into theatres for the first time we had to do something magical for our little fans and their families.
“What better way than to take the Night Garden literally into the auditorium in the form of this incredible flying Pinky Ponk?
“If the toddlers in the audiences are half as excited as I was about seeing it for the first time, it’s going to be such a special experience.”
In the Night Garden Live is the perfect musical theatre experience for the entire family.
Children’s CBeebies favourites Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy, Makka Pakka and friends are all brought beautifully to life in a specially written new story using full-size characters and magical puppets with enchanting music and dancing.
This delightful classic, which premiered in 2010 before becoming a summer entertainment fixture, is a firm favourite with pre-schoolers and their parents.
Having been seen by more than one million people, the critically acclaimed production has established itself as a must-see first theatre experience for young children.
In the Night Garden Live is written by Helen Eastman (writer of Bing Live) and based on the DHX Media television series created by Andrew Davenport.
Directed by acclaimed Royal Ballet choreographer and director Will Tuckett, the show is produced by Minor Entertainment under licence from DHX Brands.
In the Night Garden heads to Llandudno’s Venue Cymru on Saturday, August 31, and Sunday, September 1.
