The second leg of the tour takes place in June/July 2018 with stopovers at the SA State Theatre in Pretoria from 16-17 June 2018 and the Port Elizabeth Opera House from 23-24 June 2018.

Peppa Pig Live in South Africa is based on the award-winning television series (broadcast locally on eTV and DStv) and is designed to give young fans an unforgettable first live theatre experience. It’s an immersive musical production featuring a dozen familiar and original songs, as well as an interactive sing-a-long.

“Peppa Pig is one of the most loved characters by pre-schoolers and their families here in South Africa,” says Chad Findlay, the show’s creative director. “This one-of-a-kind stage show – with incredible life-sized puppets and beautifully costumed characters – brings Peppa Pig to life in a whole new way for South African audiences.”

Fans around the country will be dancing, singing and of course jumping in muddy puddles.”
