Watford Pump House are excited to announce that Dame Arlene Philips is an executive co-producer for enchanting new musical Toys, which premieres at the Pump House this December...
Arlene Phillips DBE will be joining the creative team of West End Producers, Paul Morrissey Ltd with the Pump House Trust in association with Harlequin Theatricals.
From the visionary mind of musical maestro Phil Edwards (Miss Saigon, Starlight Express, Saturday Night Fever), together with an incredible cast of stars from the biggest West End shows, Toys is a story of courage, friendship, and the extraordinary power of imagination.
Dame Arlene Philips, producer of Toys said: “I’ve been involved with Toys for many years, with the super talented and much missed Phil Edwards. I am delighted that Paul Morrissey and I can start the adventure of Toys coming to life and I’m thrilled to be producing this show with him.”
Toys will be directed by Chris Wheeler and choreographed by Julia Ruiz Fernández.
On one magical Christmas Eve, Victoria, a lonely young girl, discovers Ludus: a world beyond her wildest dreams – a world inhabited by living toys. As she journeys through Ludus, she finds herself embarking on a magical adventure with the toys she once had as a child. But she soon learns that not all of her old friends are pleased to see her. After all, isn’t she the one that abandoned them? Can Victoria help rebuild a crumbling Ludus and ultimately, find comfort and strength amidst the enchanting chaos?
Toys will run at The Pump House Theatre for a limited five-week season from 4 - 31 December 2024.
