Tinga Tinga Tales – The Musical was first produced in April 2016 at the Elephant, Lavington. It’s a gloriously interactive and raucous show where Monkey and his larger-than-life Tinga animal friends leap onto the stage from the pages of the beloved books and the popular international cartoon series.

The musical consists of African folklore, storytelling, and live music, written and directed by multi-Bafta award winner Claudia Lloyd, Kenyan celebrity pop singer/songwriter Eric Wainaina (Mo Faya, New York Theatre Festival), who also plays the role of Monkey, choreographed by Coach Edu and producer Sheba Hirst.

Tickets will be available from Ticketsasa.com. School groups and Corporate evenings can be arranged through Tinga Rain Productions.
