Father Christmas Needs A Wee

‘Father Christmas Needs a Wee!’ is back...and he still needs a WEE! The musical premiered in August 2013 and saw success in a sell out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe followed by a sell out UK Tour across number one theatre venues in 2014. Adapted from Nicholas Allan’s original book by duo James Worthington and Kate Lindsey it is a magical journey for all ages using original songs, puppets and imaginative scenery trickery. ‘TaleGate Theatre Productions’ has created children’s theatre and workshops for venues and councils across the UK since 2009 but it is this musical that has sent them on a magic sleigh ride to success!
At every house Father Christmas eats and drinks the tasty treats that have been left for him. But when he reaches number ten he realises that he’s forgotten to do something rather important and he really, really, really needs a WEE! TaleGate Theatre Productions hit the perfect combination of witty humour, fantastic music and the extra sparkle for which they have become known in this fabulously funny and brilliantly bouncy musical adaptation of Nicholas Allan’s much loved book.

The performance completely entranced two very active 4 year olds to the point where they even didn't want sweeties!- Primary Times (2015)
“This was a fun production, a perfect aperitif to the panto season. It’s short, sweet and kids will love it, especially if they already have the book (by Nicholas Allan).” - thelatest.co.uk (Lee Stevens, 2014)
“When it comes to theatre for children, you are off to a good start when the title of the show is enough on its own to inspire laughter from your little ones. And so it was that we enjoyed Talegate Theatre’s delightful stage adaptation of Nicholas Allan’s book about the Christmas Eve that saw Santa get caught short. A super show for children.” - Bournemouth Echo (Julian McLeod, 2014)
