The Old Vic will perform Hundred Feet Tall, a new 30-minute musical play for children, at libraries across London this Easter, with tickets available for free.
Based on the book of the same name written by Benjamin Scheuer and illustrated by Jemima Williams, the show has a book by Melis Aker, with music and lyrics by Scheuer.
When Seedar-the-Seed falls on Bekko Bunny’s head, the two form an unlikely friendship, and together navigate the downs and ups of growing up.
The cast includes Helen Chong as Baby Bunny / Emel the Elephant, Joshua Price as Bekko Bunny, Ashley Sean-Cook as Daddy Bunny / Finny the Fox, Maggie Service as Mummy Bunny / Gemma Giraffe, Felicity Sparks as Seedar / Musical Director and Ed Tunningley as Lionel the Lion (pictured top, images suppled).
Designed for children aged 4-7, it is co-directed by Katy Rudd, a former Old Vic Baylis Director, and Oscar Toeman, the current Old Vic Baylis Director. The design is by Sam Wyer and the associate designer is George Alexander.
The show will tour from April 7–17 during the Easter school holidays to libraries across London, including in Camden, Hackney, Islington, Lambeth, Newham, Southwark, Tower Hamlets and Westminster. Tickets are free and will be available to book through each library.
The show will also be performed for children and their families at Great Ormond Street Hospital and Evelina London’s Children’s Hospital. For more details, click here.
