The kids are back at school after a short holiday break and if you are lucky to be working from home, you would be enjoying the tranquillity of the house being yours for a few hours again.
Upon preparing the kids for school this week, and trying to get them back into a routine, my preschooler reminded me that there's still one activity left on the cards, its the much anticipated “Peppa Pig” tour at The Globe at Suncoast.
Peppa along with her friends will be in the city from April 21-23. After a few weeks of touring other parts of South Africa, the tour ends in Durban.
Peppa Pig and her brother, George Pig, and their special friends Candy Cat and Rebecca Rabbit embark on their fantastical adventure in the stage show, “Peppa Pig’s Perfect Day”.
In this incredible escapade, Peppa tries to plan the perfect day for Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig, but not everything goes to plan.
From space rockets to starfish, exploding bubbles to Bing Bong sing-alongs – it is non-stop excitement for the whole family to enjoy.
“Peppa Pig Live in South Africa” will have fans laughing, cheering and dancing. This immersive musical production, featuring all the kids’ favourite songs along with incredible life-sized puppets and beautifully costumed characters, brings Peppa Pig to life.
The show takes place at the The Globe at Suncoast. Ticket prices range from R199-R499. Book online at www.peppapiglive.co.za
