On Christmas Eve, Father Christmas's task of delivering the presents goes slightly wrong when he gets side-tracked by all the food and drink left out for him and develops an urge to go to the bathroom, which unfortunately cannot be relieved immediately. You can read the picture book online here.
The witty lyrics of the songs and entertaining choreographies were probably lost on my children, but this musical show was extremely lively and well performed, with something for everyone. Elfie was loud and slightly pantomime-like, while Father Christmas was very believable. Expect plenty of audience participation and interaction (including dancing), giant singing mince pies and the hunt for the key to the toilet.
