Puppet Show and Creative workshop
presented by Long Nose Puppets
Awarded Best children's show of Brighton Fringe 2006
Shoe Baby is a magical puppet show! A fantastical sing-a-long adventure with a baby who takes to the sea, the air, the zoo all in a shoe!
Shoe Baby is adapted from the book written by well known author, Joyce Dunbar, published by Walker books. The music is written by talented musician, Tom Gray of the award winning band Gomez.
30 mins plus 20 mins of play and fun based around the show including meet the puppets, a giant shoe, selfies with the king and queen.
Aimed at 3-6 year olds.
"Parents are as transfixed as their children, some of whom are just over a year old. It was not only the most imaginative but the most philosophical piece of theatre I'd seen in ages."
Richard Dyball - The Times
"I can't help but wonder whether Shoe Baby might not turn out to be as resonant and redolent of childhood for this generation of toddlers as the Clangers and Puff the Magic Dragon are for me. It deserves to be."
Shella Parkin - BBC Southern Counties
'Long Nosed Puppets have created wonderful, magical children's theatre at its best."
Edinburgh Guide
"It's a great, glittery adventure' Rating 5/5."
Three Weeks
"There's a home-made charm to Polly Dunbar and Katherine Morton's puppets for this adaptation of Shoe Baby."
The Stage
"Praise be then for the wonderful Shoe Baby puppet show…The music, by Tom Gray of Gomez, was absolutely fantastic and the sets and puppeteering spot on.
Chris Hall - The Guardian
"Possibly the best children's show I have ever seen."
Polly Stauss, A Mum
