A Big Egg

Family Theatre
  • Thursday 9th April 2026 14:30

Standard Theatre Seated | Performed by The People’s Theatre Company

From the new Story Time series of family musicals by the creators of There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly.

For Jack and his little sister Molly, an egg is much more than a simple shell – it’s a tiny world full of secrets. A miracle waiting to happen.

Together, they embark on a magical journey to discover how life begins and grows. It sparks wonder, laughter, and unforgettable moments for the whole family.

Inspired by Steven Lee’s beloved picture book, A Big Egg bursts to life on stage with a captivating blend of live action, playful puppetry, and stunning animation. This gentle, interactive musical invites audiences, young and old, to explore the miracle of new life and the joy of discovery.

Perfect for families looking to spark curiosity, share joyful moments, and experience a heartfelt celebration of life’s little wonders. It is a show that will inspire children’s imaginations and create lasting memories for grown-ups too.

Ideal for ages 2 to 102.
