AMERICA’S Got Talent 2015 winner, ventriloquist Paul Zerdin, returns to the UK fresh from headlining the world-famous Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas and appears at The Haymarket on Saturday 7 October with a sparkling new show featuring his all-star cast of (in)famous puppets.

Join Paul, Sam, Albert and Baby, plus two crazy brand new characters, for an evening of laugh out loud stand-up comedy and ventriloquism. With over 22 million hits on YouTube, Paul is a regular at The Royal Variety Show, appeared at The London Palladium last Christmas, and Michael McIntyre’s Big Christmas Show.

AnimAlphabet The Musical, an imaginative and compelling story aimed at anyone over the age of two, is at The Haymarket on Sunday 8 October at 2pm.

Treble Clef Island is a wonderful land of music, song and dance, but there’s a problem. Calando the dastardly duck has escaped and is threatening to steal sound forever.

Join Colin the Country Cockatoo on a quest to find the island animals and thwart Calando’s plans. A Waltzing Elephant, a Reggae Frog and a Geordie Jazz Giraffe are just some of the musical-misfits Cockatoo meets along the way.

Enjoy colourful characters, great puppets and catchy songs written by Al Sharland and Sam Swallow of The Hoosiers.

The show is fun and fast-paced, subtly teaching children the basics of music theory.

Animalphabet features the voice of Kerry Ingram (Olivier Award-winning Matilda).

Tall Stories presents The Gruffalo, based on the much loved picture book by Julia Donaldson and Alex Scheffler, at The Haymarket from 13 to 15 October. Join Mouse on a daring adventure through the deep, dark wood in this magical, musical book adaptation.

Searching for hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the party-mad Snake. Will the story of the terrifying Gruffalo save Mouse from ending up as dinner for these hungry woodland creatures? After all, there’s no such thing as a Gruffalo – is there?

This enchanting production combines wonderfully catchy songs, laughter and storytelling with just the right amount of scary fun! Suitable for children aged three and over, The Gruffalo is a must-see show.

Those with young children should not miss The Night Before Christmas at The Haymarket from 8 to 10 December. Back by popular demand, follow the story of Eddie the mouse who sets off in search of Father Christmas to find out why only humans get presents.
