Newcastle Tyne Theatre & Opera House
Tyne Theatre & Opera House are thrilled to add two fantastic new family shows to their programme!
Hugely popular author and illustrator, Liz Pichon, is best known for her award-winning series Tom Gates, and she brings her Tom Gates Brilliant Bands and Doodle Live Tour to the stage on Friday 27thOctober. Colourful farmyard adventure What the Ladybird Heard will be at Tyne Theatre & Opera House from Friday 8th– Sunday 10th June 2018.
Featuring two crafty robbers, one tiny ladybird, and a whole farmyard of fun, What the Ladybird Heard sees Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len hatch a cunning plan to steal the farmer's fine prize cow. But they reckon without the tiniest, quietest creature of all: The Ladybird has a plan of her own!
Follow the woolly sheep, the hairy hog, the fat red hen and the dainty dog in this glittering stage adaptation of Julia Donaldson & Lydia Monks' much-loved children’s book. With live music, puppetry, plenty of audience participation and lots of laughs!
Join Liz Pichon as she presents Tom Gates Brilliant Bands and Doodle Live Tour, a hugely fun-packed & interactive monster drawing event with live music! Bring a pencil and paper, learn to doodle just like Tom and hear DUDE3 Tom's favourite band in the whole wide world play some excellent tunes. There's stories and music and a chance to meet Liz and the band after the show.

Tyne Theatre & Opera House Director Joanne Johnson says: “I’m thrilled that we can add two more wonderful family shows to our programme, we like to cater for all ages! We also welcome the delightful adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s Stick Man to the stage this October (one of my personal favourites!) alongside The Hunting of the Snark, a brand new adaptation inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic poem. Then of course we have pantomime to look forward to in December, with Enchanted Entertainment presenting Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs. I hope to see lots of families having a fantastic time at Tyne Theatre & Opera House!”
