Welcome

A visit to the theatre, sitting next to dad, Some of it was scary, so I clung on like mad. Ice cream at the interval, all around my face, I was saving it for later, mum, get off my case! When all the fun was over, and the bows had all been taken, I just can’t wait to come again, now I’m a theatre patron!
We’ve got another packed season of children’s entertainment on offer at Derby LIVE this summer, so whether you’re bringing a child for their first theatre experience, or they’re already little seasoned theatre-goers, there are plenty of opportunities to create some enchanting memories. This season we’ll be welcoming back Scotland’s favourite children’s entertainers, The Singing Kettle; watching open-mouthed as the Shaolin Warriors perform death-defying stunts before our eyes; and wishing we had the skating skills of the amazing Russian Ice Stars, who tell the story of the boy who never grew up in Peter Pan On Ice. The summer holidays are already kids’ favourite time of year, but we’re adding another reason for them to look forward to it - in the form of family favourite Shaun the Sheep’s first adventure on stage: Shaun’s Big Show! Just in case that wasn’t enough to get the kids excitedly jumping up and down, we’ve just annouced this year’s Christmas shows - Roald Dahl’s The BFG, and panto adventure Dick Whittington. Christmas might feel a long way off, but it’s never too early to book, especially when we’re offering Early Bird ticket prices to make the family festive treat more affordable.

A Victorian Mikado Set in a brightly coloured Japan of 1885, The Mikado is the most popular of the Gilbert & Sullivan Victorian operettas and in this vibrant and fast moving new version it’s given the full ‘Krazy Kat’ treatment featuring Sullivan’s music, masks, puppets, dance, song and, of course, fully integrated sign language. A Victorian Mikado is set backstage after the final rehearsal of Gilbert and Sullivan’s new work. The story of this new ‘Mikado’ operetta is re-enacted and retold by stage crew of the Savoy Theatre, but do they think it will prove a success? Using whatever props and costumes come to hand, the cast give an insight into the hazards and excitements of Victorian Theatre life, and look at the contemporary political complexities that The Mikado reveals.
Tue 24 May, 10.30am & 1.30pm Guildhall Theatre £8.50, concessions £6.50, group and school rates available With Fully Integrated Sign Language

Scarecrow by Mike Kenny
A story told with music, movement, puppetry and fun, this is the tale of a lonely scarecrow and a bunch of noisy crows. The scarecrow hates the crows. Well that’s what you’d expect. But every time he chases them off they just keep coming back. The crows can take or leave the scarecrow. They’re too busy squabbling, eating and living their lives. All he wants is to be left alone.
Ahoy Shipmates! Scotland’s favourite children’s entertainers, The Singing Kettle, set sail on this special 1-hour non-stop concert style performance of Pirate Party.
Come on board for the nautical nonsense and fantastic songs like Drunken Sailor, Over the Irish Sea and Eelly Alley O. Some lucky children will even end up on stage to help our crew! But beware… there’s pirates about in this fun-packed, swashbuckling sing-along!
Perfect for over 5s and their families.
Cilla, Artie, Gary and Kevin are guaranteed to have the whole family dancing, laughing and singing with loads of audience participation, in this action packed voyage with The Singing Kettle.
Pirate Party is a treasure trove of fun for girls and boys of all ages. Remember to dress up as a pirate!

by Roald Dahl adapted by David Wood Late one night, Sophie is snatched from her bed in the orphanage by the BFG, who takes her back to his cave in Giant Country. The BFG – Big Friendly Giant – is a dream-blowing giant who blows lovely golden dreams into the bedrooms of sleeping children. The two soon become the best of friends, feasting together on disgusterous stinking snozzcumbers, washed down with frobscottle and making whizzpoppers together.
Sophie and the BFG quickly make plans to save them, enlisting the help of the Queen of England, the Head of the Army and the Head of the Airforce in their battle against the other giants.
But catasterous disastrophe strikes. The other giants are not nearly so nice. Their favourite pastime is feasting each night on human beans, and have set their sights on their next meal – the chillders of England.
