About this experience
What is The Smartest Giant in Town about? The Smartest Giant in Town is the Olivier Award nominated musical adaptation of Julia Donaldson's beloved picture book, returning to the West End at St. Martin's Theatre from 9 December 2026 to 3 January 2027. George wishes he wasn't the scruffiest giant in town. After a trip to a fancy clothes shop he has a spectacular new look: smart trousers, a smart shirt, a stripy tie and shiny shoes. Then he bumps into some animals who desperately need his help, and his clothes. Who created this production? The show comes from the award winning Little Angel Theatre, known for A Squash and a Squeeze and Charlie Cook's Favourite Book, and West End producers Fierylight, the team behind Peppa Pig, Bing and The BFG on stage. Packed with delightful puppets and catchy songs, it is a heart warming tale about friendship and the joy of helping others, which the Evening Standard called a joy. When is The Smartest Giant in Town playing? The festive run lasts from 9 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 at St. Martin's Theatre on West Street, in the heart of the West End. At 55 minutes with no interval, it is perfectly sized for its audience of 2 to 8 year olds. Do babies need a ticket? Babes in arms under 12 months sitting on an adult's lap do not need a ticket; everyone else does.
