Christmas well and truly arrived in 2016 with a new stage adaptation of Antarctic adventure Mr Popper’s Penguins! Having waddled into the Criterion Theatre for a strictly limited festive season, the fun-filled production is based on the Richard and Florence Atwater’s hit children’s novel, which was later made into a 2011 film starring comic actor Jim Carey, grossing $187 million at the box office.
Mr Popper’s Penguins is the magical story of Mr Popper, a painter-decorator who spends his days dreaming of Antarctic adventures in a winter wonderland. One day, Mr Popper opens his door to find a rather large packing crate brimming with penguins! Mayhem and chaos ensues, but Mr and Mrs Popper and their family of performing penguins are happier than they’ve ever been.

Further cast members include Lucy Grattan as Greta/Admiral Drake and Toby Manley as Captain Cook/Mr Greenbaum, who both double up as puppeteers!
Mr Popper’s Penguins was directed by Emma Earle, with design by Zoe Squire, puppet design by Nick Barnes, lighting design by Ric Mountjoy and sound design by Jason Barnes. There was also plenty of music packed into the production, with original songs by Luke Bateman and Richy Hughes, including “Chills 4 U” and “Poles Apart”.
Brought to the stage by the producers behind Hetty Feather, The Tiger Who Came to Tea and We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, the dazzling show entertain countless families. Mr Popper’s Penguins played for a limited season at the Criterion Theatre from December 15th to December 31st 2016.
