New commercial musical theatre company AG Theatre is launching their first season with a new production of The Three Little Pigs, in this 50-minute children’s musical written by Stiles and Drewe, the Olivier Award winning minds behind Mary Poppins, Honk! and Peter Pan – A Musical Adventure, opening at the National Theatre, St Kilda on December 18.
The Three Little Pigs delivers a charming and witty retelling of the classic tale, with catchy and upbeat memorable songs.
The children’s musical is directed by WAAPA musical theatre graduate Tahra Cannon, who recently received rave reviews for her production of A Chorus Line, with Andrew Gyopar’s independent theatre company Theatrical. She is thrilled to be making her commercial theatre directing debut with The Three Little Pigs.
“This musical will leave kids howling with laughter, squealing like little piglets, and enchanted with what could potentially be their first live theatre experience,” says Tahlia.
“Three Little Pigs will invite audiences of all ages to sing, laugh, and reflect on the value of connection. Expect to walk away from the theatre singing ‘Three Little Pigs’ all the way home.”
Ben Hamilton (Bar) is delighted to be making his professional musical debut in The Three Little Pigs. He currently studies full-time at Showfit, where he pursues his passion for musical theatre.
When not studying, Ben says he loves working with children in entertainment and bringing fun and creativity to every interaction.
