What happens to naughty children who’ve gone too far?
This dark and imaginatively comic musical follows a selfish little girl who runs away from home and discovers a magical menagerie filled with animals that used to be children before their naughtiness brought them to untimely ends. When the menagerie’s menacing proprietor tasks her to choose one animal to set free, she must decide which one, if any, has learned its lesson. But things are not what they seem, and is any child truly naughty?
The Little Beasts was selected by Andrew Lloyd Webber as part of his new Work In Progress initiative, dedicated to developing new British musicals. These shows are presented with minimal props, set and costume so they can be rewritten and changed throughout the run based on your feedback.
