What can we expect? This new musical adaptation of the children’s book is guaranteed to provide fresh fun for all the family. It’s a busy year for the Queen – she has lots of important events to attend. But disaster has struck the palace as Her Majesty’s knickers have been nicked – call the royal guard! Meanwhile, a little girl is wondering what knickers Her Majesty will choose to wear on a school visit! Will they be her ‘at home’ knickers – adorned with corgis – or her ‘garden party’ knickers, or perhaps her woolly Balmoral ones…? This production promises a regal children’s musical full of songs, silliness and a corgi or two!
