at Festival Drayton Centre
Market DraytonThere's A Monster In Your Show
14:00 - 14:50 23rd October 2026

More InformationTom Fletcher’s interactive adventures for big imaginations are leaping from page to stage, as the beloved ‘Who’s in Your Book?' series tours the UK in a brand-new musical show.
A group of performers are preparing to start their show, but quickly discover they are not alone on stage. Little Monster wants to be part of the fun too! With an invitation to his friends, Dragon, Alien and Unicorn to join him, you can expect comedy and chaos as they help to create a magical show, learning about the joy of books and friendship along the way.
A high-energy 50-minute adventure featuring lively original music, this show is the perfect introduction to live theatre.
Expect plenty of playful fun for your littlest ones as their favourite characters come to life in a show that is packed with interactive moments to enjoy together.
New music composed by Tom Fletcher, Barry Bignold and Miranda Larson.
Tom Fletcher says, "Being part of the creative team has been a real joy and I’ve loved blending my passion for storytelling with live theatre. Back when we kicked things off in 2023, I never imagined we’d be heading out on a fourth national tour in 2026! It’s all thanks to the brilliant puppeteers, the magical puppets and the amazing families who keep coming back. I know taking kids to the theatre can be a bit daunting – but this show is made with young families in mind. It’s completely interactive, noisy in all the best ways and children are encouraged to shout, sing, clap and dance their hearts out!"
