Expect playful fun in this high-energy interactive musical show from Who’s in Your Book? series author Tom Fletcher.

Fletcher’s interactive adventures for big imaginations are leaping from page to stage, as the beloved series makes its debut as a brand-new musical show.

A group of performers are preparing to start their show, but quickly discover they are not alone on stage: Little Monster wants to be part of the fun too – and invite his friends Dragon, Alien and Unicorn to join him. Expect comedy and chaos as they help to create a magical show, learning about the joy of books and friendship along the way.

A 50-minute adventure featuring lively original music, this show is the perfect introduction to live theatre.

There's a Monster in Your Show ... and he can't wait to meet you!
