The First Hippo on the Moon by David Walliams makes it's North East Theatre Debut at the Tyne Theatre and Opera House, Newcastle

Children aged 3 and up will love 'The First Hippo on the Moon' - an explosively funny space adventure from best-selling children's author David Walliams which has been adapted for stage and is making it's North East debut at the Tyne Theatre and Opera House on Saturday 4 February. 

The performance will see two fat hippos with one ENORMOUS dream - who can make it to the moon first? 

Now I don't speak Hippo, so I thought it might be a good idea to learn a few key phrases before the show:-

• Hippo-po-rocket | A rocket which hippos use to get to the moon. The rocket which Sheila uses to get to the moon is made from the biggest tree trunk she could find.
• Hippo-po-step | The first ever step which Hercules the Hippo is about to take on the moon before he's interrupted by Sheila's crash landing.
• Hippo-po-spacesuit | A spacesuit which a hippo wears in space. Hercules' is just like a human spacesuit whereas Sheila's is homemade.
• Hippo-po-buggy | An expensive piece of space equipment which Hercules uses on the moon.
• Hippo-po-trump | The bottom burp created by Sheila when she crash lands back on earth. 

Tickets for The First Hippo on the Moon are available via the Tyne Theatre and Opera House website from £12 here. There is just one performance and that is on Saturday 4th February at 1:30pm and tickets are selling fast so be quick!
