Following a hugely successful run at the Duke of York's Theatre last Christmas, everyone's favourite pink Piglet returns in Peppa Pig's Surprise, set to run for a fantastically festive West End season! In a charming and colourful production, Peppa Pig's Surprise is the brand new live stage show opening at the Phoenix Theatre in December!


Peppa Pig's Surprise follows the Piggy family as they embark on a fun and surprising adventure!

Mummy and Daddy Pig have prepared a special surprise for the next day, which involves going to the sunny beach and bumping into Mr. Potato and Mr. Crab!
