The Show

Do you supervise the children?

No, each child must be in the company of a responsible adult at all times.

Is it suitable for very young children?

No child is too young - most children in the audience are aged 0-4. Parents tell us that children of all ages enjoy the show. If your child enjoys the TV show, then they’ll love the live show too! If you'd like feedback from other parents please visit our Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/NightGardenLive

How are the characters recreated?

Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka are all recreated by both human size costume characters and puppets.

Will there be narration and music?

Yes, the show includes music and songs from the TV show, with the voice of the TV narrator, Sir Derek Jacobi.

Can I take photos during the show?

It’s fine to take photos during the show, but please switch the flash off on phones and cameras. Flashes can be very distracting to the performers and other audience members. If you’re not sure how to do this, please take a few moments to check before you leave home.

Is it possible for a birthday announcement to be made on stage for my child?

No, the characters do not speak in the same way that we do, so it is not possible for them to say happy birthday to a member of the audience.

Is it possible for my child to meet a character after the show?

No, unfortunately it is not possible to meet a character after the show.

What is the show about?

Igglepiggle’s Busy Day is where Igglepiggle looks for his friends and follows their funny sounds until he finds them all. All the main characters appear in the show. 

 

How long is the show?

The show is still in development but we expect it to be just under an hour long.

Are all the main characters in the show?

Yes. Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka all appear live in the show.
