It will run at the St Martin's Theatre, home of the world's longest running play, The Mousetrap, and following on from the success of Perform Production's Magical Merlin last Autumn.

The production is an enchanting mini-musical for children aged three and above. Midnight in the Toyshop is packed with catchy songs, dazzling dances, and heart-warming storylines.

Brought to the stage by Lucy Quick and Will Barnett, step inside a magical toyshop where toys spring to life as the clock strikes midnight.. but their world is under threat. When tech entrepreneur, Peyton Pixel, plans to tear down the toyshop
and replace it with an AI experience centre, the toys must prove that REAL children still want REAL toys. Audiences will embark on an epic adventure with an unlikely team to show that technology can't replace the magic of true friendship.

Midnight in the Toyshop will perform from 7-12 April at the family-friendly times of 11am, 11:30am, and 2pm.
