Not if they can find the Witch who lives in the middle of the forest with her pet dragon. Join Rosie, Hugh, a Squirrel with a wobbly tooth, a Little Lizard and one very Rusty Robot on a great, big, heart-warming adventure.
Rosie and Hugh’s Great Big Adventure features Nick Cope’s amazing music, created with his love for storytelling and song. Nick’s music brings to life all the wonderful characters who have become known within the world of his songs.
Nick Cope says, Seeing the characters in my songs come to life on stage, singing and dancing has been absolutely enchanting. The story of Rosie and Hugh is a truly magical and engaging adventure, and whether you know the songs or not, audiences young and old are going to love it.
Rosie and Hugh’s relationship, with each other and to the outside world, is central to the musical; it really is a story of friendship, finding courage and hope and being kind to one another.
Nick’s music is complimented with a book from Victoria Saxton, Executive Director of Mercury Musical Developments (2015-2019) who is known for co-creating and producing BEAM the UK’s largest showcase of New British Musical Theatre.
