The Smartest Giant in Town

play

THE SMARTEST GIANT IN TOWN live theatre show is back in London’s West End this Christmas at St Martin’s Theatre.

George wishes he wasn’t the scruffiest giant in town. But after a trip to a fancy clothes shop, he has a spectacular new look: smart trousers, a smart shirt, a stripy tie, and shiny shoes.

Now he’s the smartest giant in town… until he bumps into some animals who desperately need his help – and his clothes!

From the award-winning Little Angel Theatre (A Sguash and a Squeeze, Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book), and West End producers Fierylight (Peppa Pig, Bing, Octonauts and The BFG), comes this Olivier Award nominated heart-warming musical adventure. Packed with delightful puppets, catchy songs, and Julia Donaldson‘s beloved characters, it’s a beautiful tale about friendship and the joy of helping others.

Donaldson‘s beloved characters, it’s a beautiful tale about friendship and the joy of helping others.
