Life at The Little Theatre column: A musical to charm the whole family

NEW MUSICIAL: The Wind in the Willows will be the Little Theatre's latest offering

By Jennifer Corcoran and Andrew Sloman

Our talented young people are spending their summer readying to welcome you to the Wild Wood. This delightful new musical adaptation of The Wind in the Willows is sure to charm the whole family.

Mole, Ratty and Badger seek to help Mr Toad after his obsessions with trends get him into trouble, along with a host of supporting critters.  The themes of friendship reflection and redemption endure to this day.

It is always a privilege to be able to kickstart the season with a youth musical, and it will be performed from August 23-27 at 7.30pm.

With one full season under our belts in the new normal, we are now confident we can bring you the entire 2022/2023 season so there has never been a better time to snap up our sizzling subscriber offer.

REHEARSING: Wind in the Willows rehearsal shots

If you book before the first show in the main season, you can secure tickets for all eight shows for the price of six!  You simply select the night and seats that you prefer, and lock in your tickets for the season.  If things change along the way, you can contact box office and move to another evening (although we can’t guarantee the same exact seat as you wouldn’t want to be on the knee of another patron!).

There is something for everyone this season: Coward’s witty Blithe Spirit; Godber’s observant Gym & Tonic; Ira Levin’s plot-twist-a-palooza Death Trap; Sleeping Beauty as our family pantomime; touching The Boadicea of Britannia Street; classic British sitcom The Liver Birds; Quilter’s poignant comedy The Actress and finally we revisit Richard Curtis and Ben Elton’s Blackadder – this time Blackadder the Third.

Applications in person can be made in the Box Office from September 5 and previous Subscriber seats will be held until September 8 to ensure you can keep your usual seats if this is your preference.

If you would like a copy of the application form, please contact us using the channels below.

To book tickets for Wind in the Willows and to book for our family pantomime spectacular click here - or box office in person or via 01704 530521 between 11am to 1pm – and from 6pm to curtain up on show nights.
