IF you want to know who was the first hippo on the moon, ask comedian and author David Walliams or pop along to Malvern Theatres.
Les Petits Theatre Company have announced the full cast and tour dates for the world premiere of the stage adaptation of David Walliams’ The First Hippo on the Moon, and the Malvern venue's firmly on the list.
A spokesman said: "Based on David Walliams’ original children’s book with illustrations by Tony Ross, The First Hippo on the Moon is an explosively funny space adventure which sees the enormously rich Hercules Waldorf-Franklin III and ingenious Shelia compete to be the first hippo to make it to the moon.
"David Walliams has taken the literary world by storm and his brilliantly funny stories are adored by children the world over. He has achieved unprecedented critical acclaim and quickly developed a reputation as a natural successor to Roald Dahl."
The First Hippo on the Moon is set to appear at Malvern Theatres on Monday March 6 and Tuesday March 7.
