Midnight in the Toyshop, a brand-new family theatre experience, will run at London’s St Martin’s Theatre for a limited engagement from Tuesday 7 to Sunday 12 April 2026.
The venue, home to the world’s longest-running play The Mousetrap, hosted Perform Productions’ Magical Merlin last autumn, and now welcomes this enchanting mini-musical packed with catchy songs, dazzling dances and heart-warming storytelling.
Perfect for an Easter holiday outing, the show is suitable for children aged three and above, with performances at family-friendly times of 11am, 11.30am and 2pm.
Audiences will step inside a magical toyshop where toys spring to life as the clock strikes midnight. But their world is under threat when tech entrepreneur Peyton Pixel plans to tear down the shop and replace it with an AI experience centre.
Harnessing Belle Ballerina’s feisty attitude, Rebel Racer’s high-octane energy and Grumble the Dinosaur’s cake-fuelled courage, the toys embark on an epic adventure to prove that technology can’t replace the magic of true friendship.
Perform Productions is led by Lucy Quick and Will Barnett, the team behind sold-out West End runs of Jungle Rumble and Magical Merlin. They also founded Perform, one of the UK’s leading drama schools for 4–12 year olds, and created Perform in the Park, a six-week theatre festival at Coram’s Fields in 2023.
