About The Smartest Giant in Town
The Smartest Giant in Town is a 55-minute musical adventure for children aged 2 to 8. George wishes he was not the scruffiest giant in town, so after a visit to a clothes shop he gets a new outfit: smart trousers, a smart shirt, a stripy tie and shiny shoes. His new look soon leads to an encounter with animals who need his help - and his clothes.
Created by Little Angel Theatre, whose productions include A Squash and a Squeeze and Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book, and West End producers Fierylight, the show is Olivier Award nominated. It features puppets, songs and Julia Donaldson’s characters, and the Evening Standard described it as “a joy”.
Key facts: Running time 55 minutes. Recommended for ages 2 to 8 years old.
Before you book
