Magical children's theatre for 2 - 14 year olds.

Following the success of last year’s two West End shows, Jungle Rumble and Magical Merlin, we are thrilled to present Perform in the Park, London’s first ever festival of children’s theatre. 

We’re building a 500 seat air-conditioned theatre in Coram’s Fields, Bloomsbury and showing live performances for families featuring professional adult actors every day from 22nd July – 28th August.

If your child has been attending Perform this term, working on either Mermaids & Pirates or The Dream, they will absolutely love watching these shows performed live!

With four fantastic children’s shows to see plus an all-day café and the playgrounds, sandpits and paddling pool of Coram’s Fields, you can come and make a day of it. We hope to see you there!

Mermaids & Pirates

A swishy-swashbuckling musical tale.

When Long Gone Silver and his hapless pirates discover Treasure  Island, they’re not expecting Marina and her super-cool mermaids.  

Chaos ensues and, after the Sacred Coconut goes missing, it’s down to singing parrot Rita Conchita and her friends to save the day.  

Mermaids & Pirates is a one-hour musical packed full of calypso infused songs, salsa-inspired dancing and laugh-out-loud humour. 

The Dream

A Midsummer Night's Dream rebooted for a new generation.

Social media has gone mad for the star-studded engagement of footballer Theseus and his fashion influencer fiancée, Hippolyta. But, when billionaire media mogul Oberon goes up against Titania for the streaming rights to the wedding,  a quartet of young celebrities get  caught up in his schemes. 

The Dream is a one-hour musical  filled with infectious songs, exuberant dancing and hilarious dialogue. 

Elephant & Piggie's "We are in a Play!"

A fun friendship story perfect for young audiences.

Get ready for a musical experience, straight from the pages of Mo Willems’ award-winning, best-selling children’s books, that will leave audiences dancing the “Flippy Floppy Floory” all day! 

An elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie are best, best, “bestus”  (a word Gerald and Piggie made up that means “very best”) friends, but Gerald worries that something could go wrong that would end their friendship.  

Piggie is not worried at all. She’s even happier and more excited than usual because she and Gerald are invited to  a party hosted by the Squirrelles, three singing squirrels who love to have a good time. And so begins a day when anything is possible.  

Filled with beloved characters and  lively songs, Elephant & Piggie’s “We are in a Play!” is a perfect way to introduce young people to theatre.

The Three Billy Goat's Gruff

The TRIP TRAPPING musical adventure

On a grassy hill, in the middle of the countryside, there lived THE THREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF! They never stopped eating and before long they had eaten everything they could get their hooves on!  

Hold on to your horns and join the  three billy goats on their wild and  wacky adventure, as they bravely cross the rickety bridge to greener pastures. But who will they meet along the way  as they TRIP TRAP over the bridge?  

With lots of catchy songs, funky dances to clap along to and a rapping troll to boot, Lost The Plot Theatrical are proud to present this smash-hit children’s musical. An interactive, family fun show and the perfect treat this summer for little ones and the big kids that bring them! 

Evenings in the Park with...

A series of interview-style shows  featuring some of your children’s favourite household names.  

Hosted by Riyadh Khalaf* and featuring authors, musicians and West End stars  talking about their lives and careers,  the 75 minute shows will include a  Q&A and, depending on the guest, perhaps a book-reading, maybe some songs and definitely a whole lot of fun. 

Stars will be announced online as they are confirmed so check performinthepark.uk regularly.
