More fun than a muddy puddle! It’s going to be a big day out for fans of Entertainment One’s phenomenally successful preschool TV show, Peppa Pig, as the smash theatrical Peppa Pig Live tour returns to South African shores in Sept 2019 as Ackermans presents “Peppa Pig’s Big Day Out” in association with Smile 904 FM, East Coast Radio and Hot 91.9FM.
In this thrilling adventure – Polly Parrot and Mr Dinosaur have vanished – leaving Peppa, George, Mummy & Daddy Pig to embark on an incredible journey to find the missing duo. As always – Peppa’s special friends ( and firm fan favourites) Suzy Sheep, Danny Dog and Pedro Pony are on hand to help in the fantastic hunt!
“Peppa Pig’s Big Day Out” will open in Cape Town at the Artscape Opera House and run from 6 to 8 Sept 2019. The show then visits Durban at The Globe at Suncoast from 13 to 15 Sept 2019 before heading to Emperors Palace in Johannesburg from 20 – 29 Sept 2019. Tickets are on sale now at Computicket.
This action-packed live stage show is especially designed to give young fans an unforgettable first live theatre experience and encompasses all the charming, colorful nature of the hit television series with everyone’s favourite songs! Fans will be 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 resident Creative Director.
“The response to our last visit was incredible and we can’t wait to return! This one-of-a-kind stage show – with incredible life-sized puppets and beautifully costumed characters – brings Peppa Pig to life in a whole new way for South African audiences.”
“We’re so excited for local fans to once again be a part of Peppa and George’s adventure in Peppa Pig’s Big Day Out,”
said Ami Dieckman, Head of International Licensing at Entertainment One Family.
“Fans around the country will be dancing, singing and of course jumping in muddy puddles.”
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 & 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, South Africa, Australia & 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!”
