Animal Farm - The Puppet Musical Tickets

Animal Farm - The Puppet Musical brings Orwell's tale to life with a cinematic puppetry spectacle. Over 30 life-size animals are operated by a cast of 14 puppeteers, allowing audiences to experience the story with minimal human presence on stage. The production blends a symphonic musical score with imaginative design to create a immersive family-friendly show that also carries a pointed political subtext suitable for ages 11 and up. The show is a collaborative effort produced by The Children’s Theatre Partnership in association with Birmingham Repertory Theatre, continuing a long-running partnership to bring classic literature to younger audiences.

Directed and adapted by Robert Icke, with Toby Olié as puppet designer/director and Bunny Christie handling set and costume design. Music and sound design by Tom Gibbons contribute a orchestral, cinematic quality that audiences and critics have praised. The team’s work has drawn acclaim from major outlets for its inventive puppetry, staging, and emotional resonance.

Upcoming UK tour in spring 2025 features multiple regional stops across England, including Bolton, Kingston, Malvern, Leicester, Hornchurch, Guildford, Perth, and Liverpool. For families and theatre-goers seeking a distinctive, music-forward experience, Animal Farm offers a memorable introduction to theatre that blends literature, performance art, and live music.
