Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom

Norwich Theatre Royal

02/06/17

Children’s heroes Ben and Holly delighted audiences with their latest show from The Little Kingdom.

Capturing the essence of the well-loved TV show live on stage, they invited us to join them in their various games and songs as well as introducing the classic characters that we all know and love. The bold bright set, as well as the full size masks worn by the cast added to the magic with the first half ending with the cast flying to The Little Kingdom with their new friend Lucy. Luckily Lucy’s appearance didn’t bring the trouble that my daughter had anticipated in the second half, but more songs games and magic!

Not only were we treated to a lot of magic jelly but a potion that accidently caused a lot of extra hair growth. Poor King Thistle! The whole show came to a climax with everyone being invited to get up and join in the dance along to a medley of the shows songs. Let the Dad Dancing commence!
