Dubbed “a fresh twist on a classic tale” by the Chicago Tribune, this story follows three little superstar piglets – Cha, Siu and Bao – who are encouraged by Mother Pig to leave the family pigsty and make their own way in the big wide world. The trio can’t agree on their ideal living arrangements and so they each build their own dream home – one out of straw, one of sticks, and one of bricks – before being foiled by the insatiable Big Bad Wolf. But just when the pigs think they’re safe, the Big Bad Wolf takes Mother Pig hostage to lure the piglets out of hiding. The swine siblings must band together to defeat their wolfish foe. Filled with fast-paced humour, the musical offers 45-minutes of non-stop laughter, heart and magic.
