A brand-new family musical with original music and puppetry, adapted from Dermot O'Leary's children's book about the blind ninja cat Toto.
Toto the Ninja Cat comes to Warwick Arts Centre on Saturday 31 October, with two more performances on Sunday 1 November. It's a brand-new family musical for everyone over five, adapted from Dermot O'Leary's best-selling children's book, illustrated by Nick East.
Toto is almost completely blind, but her other senses make her a resourceful hero with incredible ninja skills and a big heart. She sets out on daring night-time missions with her cheeky brother Silver, and when a deadly King Cobra escapes onto the streets of London, it's up to Toto to save the day. The production runs 55 minutes with no interval, and it leans on original music, laugh-out-loud fun and extraordinary puppetry to hold both the children and the adults accompanying them. It's recommended for ages five and over, and under-16s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Behind the scenes, it's a co-production between A Little Angel Theatre, Mercury Theatre in Colchester and Mayflower in Southampton. Barb Jungr and Samantha Lane co-adapted the book, with Lane directing and Jungr providing the music and lyrics. Oliver Hymans handled the set, costume and puppet design, and Sherry Coenen did the lighting.
