The magic of the small screen show has been transferred to the stage for an exciting musical adventure.

Creator Richard Lewis said children were in for a treat as Ben and Holly had fun and games helping Gaston clean up his messy cave; going on a trip to The Big World with tooth-fairy Nanny Plum; then planning a surprise for King Elf's birthday party, complete with an unplanned jelly flood.

He said the show was packed full of games, songs and laughter and youngsters could look forward to an enchanting and magical visit to the Little Kingdom with elves, princesses and childhood innocence.

Mr Lewis said: "It's a lot of fun to work on these shows. The key to it is that whatever age you are you have to keep your sense of youthfulness and childishness to make it work.

"Within it, we'll put little scenettes to link to it together.

"I think the think about it is that whichever show kids go to, they see these characters as superman. When Holly comes on they go slightly ecstatic because it's their hero.

"If it's a Peppa show, they go the same for that."
