Five Little Christmas Monkeys to Open at Park Theatre

by Staff Writer
November 16, 2021
Reading Time: 3 mins read

Five Little Christmas Monkeys returns with a special Christmas-themed show for 2 – 6 year olds. Created by the team behind the hit family show Dogs Don’t Do Ballet, this enlivening show introduces children to a thumping soundtrack of musical styles ranging from dub reggae to rap and classical ballet.

Sue the Zookeeper is trying to get the five little monkeys to go to bed – and she’s got a special situation on her hands because it’s Christmas Eve and the monkeys are even more excited than normal. Watch as ordinary household objects come alive and magically transform into the stern doctor who warns, ‘No more monkeys jumping on the bed!’ as young audience members are taken on a journey where counting from 1 – 5 is made enjoyably silly.

The show has been developed using advice from early-years numeracy specialists, and uses puppets designed and made by the award-winning artist and illustrator Frances Barry. The wide-ranging musical score is composed by Rex Horan of the Neil Cowley Trio and helps young minds to engage with a variety of different musical styles, some of which may be new to them and others that they’ll already know and love. The show is performed by Andrea Sadler who creates a warm, welcoming and friendly atmosphere for all children to feel at home in.

       

All performances are suitable for parents and babies.

Andrea Sadler said, “Five Little Christmas Monkeys is so much fun to perform and the response from the young audiences is always fantastic. We are so excited about returning to Park Theatre this Christmas for a show packed with laughter, music and beautiful puppets.”
