More fun than a muddy puddle! Entertainment One’s phenomenally successful preschool TV show, Peppa Pig, will move from the small screen to the theatre stage in South Africa next year as Peppa Pig Live in South Africa begins its tour.
Marking the first ever nationwide stage show tour for Peppa and friends, Peppa Pig Live in South Africa will open in Johannesburg at Emperor’s Palace on 29 March 2018 and run until 2 April 2018. The show will then visit Cape Town’s International Convention Centre from 6 to 8 April 2018 before heading to The Playhouse Company, Durban from 20 to 22 April 2018. The second leg of the tour takes place in June/July 2018 with stopovers at the Port Elizabeth Opera House from 22 – 24 June 2018 followed by Pretoria.
Peppa Pig Live in South Africa is an action-packed rollicking stage show, based on the award-winning television series (broadcast locally on e.tv and DStv) especially designed to give young fans an unforgettable first live theatre experience. A fully immersive musical production featuring a dozen familiar and original songs, as well as an interactive sing-a-long, the live stage show will have fans laughing, cheering and dancing – just like Peppa!
“Peppa Pig is one of the most loved characters by pre-schoolers and their families here in South Africa,” says Chad Findlay, the show’s creative director. “This one-of-a-kind stage show – with incredible life-sized puppets and beautifully costumed characters – will bring Peppa Pig to life in a whole new way for South African audiences.”
Worldwide phenomenon
Peppa Pig is quite literally taking over the world. From the Peppa Pig World theme park attraction in England to becoming the number one television show for kids aged two to five years, the brand’s core values of family, friends, imagination and kindness, have helped earn Peppa legions of fans amongst parents and children alike. Peppa’s previous live shows have taken her around the world – from breaking records in London’s West End to sell-out tours across USA, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Parents rave: “Peppa is part of our family and watching my two-year-old daughter laughing, shouting and cheering throughout says it all!”
