Production history
The musical had its world premiere as a concert performance at the London Palladium on 29 June 2016, produced by Warwick Davis (who also starred as Evil Lord Hector).[1] The concert also featured Marcus Brigstocke as the narrator.
A fully staged production received its premiere at The Other Palace in London from 22 January to 3 March 2018[2], returning for a second run from 1 September to 7 October 2018, before being extended until 21 October 2018.[3]
Following the run at The Other Palace, a transfer was planned for a limited 10-week season at the Ambassadors Theatre in London's West End from 27 October 2018 to 7 January 2019,[4] however it was later announced that this would not be happening.[5]
