About the Show

We’re back! And we can’t wait to unveil our first family show of the year, our original adaptation of the classic fairy tale THE GINGERBREAD MAN. Featuring many of your favourite Spontaneous actors in a brand new tale, and with original songs by Paul Tornbohm — expect amazing action, fabulous dance routines, wonderful costumes, crazy chases – and watch out for The Chef!

Hi there! Gingerbread Man here! Freshly baked and out of the oven, I’m doing my best to run from all the animals trying to eat me! Will you help me escape and find my true destiny?

This is our 14th original family show since 2017 and the third we have staged in Mayow Park’s bowling green. From the same team that brought you Alice in Wonderland in 2019 and Puss in Boots in 2020, our shows are fun, fast-moving and musical versions of well-known stories, always with a bit of a twist. This time we’ll be asking you to stay in the same place, so do bring blankets to sit on.
