The stage show, based on the BAFTA-nominated animated series from Magic Light Pictures and the picture books by multi-award-winning illustrator Axel Scheffler (The Gruffalo), will embark on a tour from the 18th February 2027.
It has been announced that Pip and Posy are heading out on a UK tour next year, bringing the beloved characters to young audiences across the country from February next year.
Pip and Posy are best friends whose lives revolve around the world of play. Their stories are a joyful celebration of friendship in all its forms – the laughter, the ups and downs, the silliness and care. Together with their friends Mo and Jamila, they head off on a thrilling adventure through tangled jungles, across slimy swamps and high above the clouds aboard a big red balloon. Just watch out, the Troll is after the treasure!
Pip and Posy was first published in 2011 by Nosy Crow, and have gone on to sell more than 30 million copies worldwide.
