As her hit 2023 book A Very Curious Christmas, is published in paperback, beloved children’s TV presenter Maddie Moate (CBeebies ‘Maddie’s Do You Know?) announces that CBeebies’ star Jennie Dale will be appearing virtually as ‘Mrs Claus’ in her West End show, MADDIE MOATE’S VERY CURIOUS CHRISTMAS.
‘Maddie Moate’s Very Curious Christmas’, created and written by Maddie Moate, is a brand-new festive stage show that takes audiences on an adventure in Santa’s workshop, playing at the Apollo Theatre from Friday 6 December to Saturday 4 January, with a press performance on Sunday 8 December at 3.30pm. Tickets are on sale now here.
Maddie is on work experience in this winter wonderland, and she’s got her hands full with two hilarious elves: Tinker, the trainee toymaker, and Goggles, the Head of Elf Safety.
But with Christmas just around the corner, the workshop is a whirlwind of mishaps! The snow machine is out of control, the crackers have lost their bang, and the Christmas lights won’t twinkle. To top it all off, Mrs Claus is on her way for a surprise inspection!
With the clock ticking, Maddie and her young audience must use science, curiosity, and a sprinkle of Christmas magic to help Tinker and Goggles fix the workshop in time for Mrs Claus’ big visit.
Packed with festive fun, science demonstrations, and plenty of giggles, this family-friendly show is the perfect Christmas treat for kids and grown-ups as they work together to save Christmas!
Maddie Moate said, “I’m having so much fun creating a brand-new kind of show that combines my love for science and the magic of theatre. ‘Maddie’s Very Curious Christmas’ isn’t just a collection of exciting science experiments—it’s a heartwarming story full of quirky characters, musical moments, and even a touch of magic! With plenty of audience participation, it’s a unique experience, and I can’t wait to see how audiences respond!
I’m thrilled that my friend Jennie will be joining me virtually as Mrs Claus – she’s a hugely talented actress, and I’m sure she’ll give me some wonderful tips for making my West End debut!”
