What is The Smartest Giant in Town about?

Featuring music and puppets, it’s going to be a giant-sized adventure! Join George, a giant who’s fed up with being the scruffiest guy in town. Throwing away his tired old dressing gown, he stumbles upon a new clothes shop that sells gorgeous, ginormous, garments and they all fit him perfectly! Excited by the idea of fresh new threads, George decides to update his wardrobe with smart trousers, a crisp shirt, a stripy tie, and shiny shoes!

As George parades through town, feeling like the smartest giant around, he encounters some animals in need of his assistance - and his clothes! This heartwarming story of generosity is sure to bring joy to children and leave them with smiles on their faces all day long!

Great show for kids. My 2.5 yo one loved it. Fun, engaging and just the right duration for little ones.

Tim Jolly

The show was brilliantly conceived and performed. Pitched at the right level for the kids, who loved it

Amanda Moreth

The play could barely entertain the toddlers. There was some jokes that didn't land. Overall a waste of money

Alicia Hutchinson

Kids enjoyed it

My granddaughter, who is just 4 years old, loved this show. She sat transfixed for the entire time. Just wonderful!

Lisa Watkiss

Really lovely day out. My granddaughter is 2 years 8 months and it held her attention throughout. Just the right time. Well worth a visit??

Luiza Bagatini

The play was lovely, great scenario, fun and engaging characters, good level of interaction, lots of songs and colors and voices. My 2yo loved it ! My only piece of feedback would be that the volume was pretty high - so when characters were shouting it was a bit too much for us sitting on the front rows.

My children really liked the show. Funny and engaging.

Gwendoline Hurn

Wonderful show, the children were rapt, even though most seemed to know the story. Excellent cast.
