  • Show Information

A BRAND NEW FAMILY MUSICAL

Based on the novel by Richard and Florence Atwater.
Adapted for the stage by Pins and Needles Productions
Music by Luke Bateman, Lyrics by Richy Hughes

Painter and decorator by day, Mr Popper spends his time dreaming of Antarctic adventures. He is astounded when one day a packing crate arrives on his doorstep, out of which waddles a penguin!

With songs, puppets and a family of performing penguins, this delightful musical adaptation of Richard and Florence Atwater’s popular book (also made into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey) is brought to you by the producers of The Tiger Who Came to Tea and We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.
