Most enjoyed by ages 3 and up
If you have kids, chances are you’ve read Mo Willems’ Elephant & Piggie books. Northwest Children’s Theater brings the world of Elephant & Piggie to life in an upbeat musical that weaves through eight of his most popular books including Elephants Cannot Dance, I Love My New Toy, and Should I Share My Ice Cream? The show is an encore of NWCT’s 2023 production which enjoyed sold-out houses and rave reviews.
Perfect for first-time theatergoers, Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” explores the ups and downs of friendship through the eyes of “bestus friends,” Gerald the Elephant and Piggie the Pig. Together, they tackle friendship’s big questions: What DO you wear to a fancy pool party? What happens when two friends want to play with ONE toy? And will ANYONE say “Banana?”
Here’s what audiences had to say about the 2023 production:
“The show was fantastic! Perfect amount of audience interaction, wonderful talent, and the kids loved seeing their favorite book characters on stage!”
“The show was amazing! What a wonderful first play experience for my 3 & 5 year old. They loved it and I did too.”
“It was so delightful. My granddaughter loves the books and reveled in seeing Elephant and Piggie come to life! She said, ‘I never want this play to end.’”
