The Smeds and The Smoos
Space Adventure with The Smeds and The Smoos play tickets
Soar up into outer space on an amazing family adventure in The Smeds and The Smoos live on stage! Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s picture book bursts into the Lyric Theatre this summer for its second West End season, and it promises huge fun with a heartwarming message for ages 3+.
Smeds are red and Smoos are blue, and they absolutely, positively, never ever, can be friends. But something different is about to happen on their planet. A young Smed and a young Smoo meet and fall in love! They decide to jet off into the stars together, but will their families be able to bring them home? And even more importantly, will the Smeds and Smoos learn to get along?!
The Smeds and The Smoos play is a bright and bold show based on one of children’s picture book duo Donaldson and Scheffler’s most unique stories, which delivers an uplifting message of tolerance and understanding amongst a quirky outer space setting.
Olivier Award-winning children’s theatre company Tall Stories, who have previously worked their magic on The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom, adapt The Smeds and The Smoos for the stage. Featuring catchy songs, amazing puppets and sets, some audience interaction and an engaging story, this is perfect entertainment for families who’ve been reading and enjoying Julia Donaldson’s books before bedtime and want to see even more.
The Smeds and the Smoos play is directed by Toby Mitchell, with design by Barney George, lighting by Peter Harrison, puppets by Yvonne Stone and music & lyrics by Jon Fiber & Andy Shaw of Jolly Good Tunes.
