MR POPPER'S PENGUINS

Based on the novel by Richard and Florence Atwater. Adapted for the stage by Pins and Needles Productions.

Painter and decorator by day, Mr Popper, spends his time dreaming of Antarctic adventures. He is astounded when one day a packing crate arrives on his doorstep, out of which waddles a penguin!

A new musical for the whole family filled with heart, invention, and plenty of p-p-p-penguins!
