London Theatre Week Is Here

<p>Bound to strike gold with the whole family is <a href="https://kidadl.com/event/billionaire-boy">David Walliams’ Billionaire Boy</a>, live on stage at the Garrick Theatre! At just over two hours, Billionaire Boy is the perfect length for mini thespians, grown-ups and anyone in between and follows the spectacular story of Joe Spud - a young billionaire. However, this fast-paced, all-singing, all-dancing, hilarious musical isn’t hanging around for much longer, so get your tickets now from as little as £24 - a pretty good deal for a priceless show! Plus, there’s infinite lessons to take from this inspirational tale, it’s bound to leave you feeling inspired and walk out the theatre smiling - check them out down below!</p><h2 data-header-link="1. Money Isn’t Everything">1. Money isn’t everything </h2><p>Joe Spud is a young billionaire who, at the age of just 12, is the richest boy in the country! Yet despite his pet crocs, sports cars and £100,000 weekly pocket money, he doesn't have a single friend. Throughout Billionaire Boy Live, we get to understand that having money isn’t everything as we learn that despite his riches, Joe Spud remains largely unhappy. As the show progresses we see that there are plenty of other sources of happiness and understand that things such as friendship, love and even toilet roll (yes!) can put bigger smiles on faces than any amount of money can!</p><h2 data-header-link="2. Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover">2. Don’t judge a book by its cover</h2><p>A common theme throughout most of Walliams’ superb tales is not to judge a book by its cover. As Billionaire Boy Live demonstrates, Joe Spud might appear happy on the surface but deep down we come to realise that he’s in fact not. Joe Spud serves as a reminder for youngsters that although we might perceive others as confident or happy or ‘the best’, that sometimes it takes more than looking at the outside to get to truly know someone. </p><figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-fullwidth" style="max-width:800px"><div><img src="https://media.kidadl.com/5da3138b6bbf3f52be00259b-billionaire-boy-on-stage-live.jpeg" alt="billionaire boy cheap tickets for theatre london for kids" width="800" height="522" srcset="https://media.kidadl.com/thumbnail_5da3138b6bbf3f52be00259b-billionaire-boy-on-stage-live.jpeg 239w,https://media.kidadl.com/small_5da3138b6bbf3f52be00259b-billionaire-boy-on-stage-live.jpeg 500w,https://media.kidadl.com/medium_5da3138b6bbf3f52be00259b-billionaire-boy-on-stage-live.jpeg 750w,https://media.kidadl.com/5da3138b6bbf3f52be00259b-billionaire-boy-on-stage-live.jpeg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 620px" loading="lazy"></div></figure><h2 data-header-link="3. Think About Who Inspires You In Your Life">3. Think about who inspires you in your life </h2><p>Billionaire Boy Live is not only hilarious, filled to the brim with jokes that both adults and kids can enjoy, but it also encourages you to take a few moments to think about who inspires you in your life. Raj, the owner of Joe’s local newsagent explains that Joe's dad is ‘an inspiration to all of us’ - perhaps take a little time in the interval to discuss what makes someone inspirational and how to be inspirational in everyday life with your mini thespians!</p><h2 data-header-link="4. How To Tackle Bullying">4. How to tackle bullying </h2><p>Billionaire Boy Live presents important messages about bullying but in a fun, engaging and light-hearted way, ensuring that those messages are still heard but leaves youngsters with smiles on their faces at the same time! Joe Spud attends two schools throughout his time and at both schools bullying takes place in all kinds of forms. Billionaire Boy raises questions about how to tackle bullying whilst re-affirming the idea that anyone who is or has experienced bullying is not alone, putting a positive spin on what can be a horrible experience. </p><figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-fullwidth" style="max-width:800px"><div><img src="https://media.kidadl.com/5da3163aae93b69eacc99392-david-walliams-billionaire-boy-on-stage.jpeg" alt="david walliams billionaire boy live on stage tickets london" width="800" height="551" srcset="https://media.kidadl.com/thumbnail_5da3163aae93b69eacc99392-david-walliams-billionaire-boy-on-stage.jpeg 226w,https://media.kidadl.com/small_5da3163aae93b69eacc99392-david-walliams-billionaire-boy-on-stage.jpeg 500w,https://media.kidadl.com/medium_5da3163aae93b69eacc99392-david-walliams-billionaire-boy-on-stage.jpeg 750w,https://media.kidadl.com/5da3163aae93b69eacc99392-david-walliams-billionaire-boy-on-stage.jpeg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 620px" loading="lazy"></div></figure><h2 data-header-link="5. You Can’t Buy Everything With Money">5. You can’t buy everything with money </h2><p>At the heart of Billionaire Boy is a story about a boy searching for friendship, learning that having money isn’t everything, and that the most valuable things in life are usually things that can’t be bought. Although Joe attempts to befriend his peers by offering them money, ultimately, he struggles to gain any real friendships. Likewise, it can’t buy good grades or a happy family, leading Joe to realise that money isn’t everything and that you can’t just buy the good things in life.</p>

It's a truly special show that'll touch your hearts, put a smile on your face and leave you completely stunned. </p>

These situations cause him to retreat into his imaginary world where his friends Draff, Tang, Noasaurus, Wren, Llama and Mouse offer comfort and support. They all exhibit characteristics associated with autism - Tang finds it difficult to read social cues, Wren flaps her wings for comfort, Mouse is extremely sensitive to sounds and smells and Noasaurus gets very nervous about things he doesn't understand. Together, they learn to face new challenges and overcome seemingly scary situations. Written and voiced by a team who are all on the spectrum, this unique series is visually stimulating and educational, and opens kids up the experiences of others.</p><h2 data-header-link="Treehouse Detectives">Treehouse Detectives</h2><p><strong>Perfect for:</strong> Little detectives between 4-10 who like chasing mysteries with their four-legged friends.</p><p>For a series that will ignite your children's fantasy and inspire many new detective game around the home, build an episode of Treehouse Detectives into your daily homeschooling or leisure routine.

Delivering exciting facts about animals, nature and people in a playful manner, your kids will always end a twenty-minute episode having learned a lesson or five.</p><h2 data-header-link="72 Cutest Animals">72 Cutest Animals </h2><p><strong>Perfect for:</strong> Kids between 7-12 who would happily adopt every one of the 72 cute animals on this show.</p><p>This documentary series on Netflix, offers the perfect balance between entertainment and education. Each episode features segments on ten different animals, all of which are ridiculously cute, in their natural habitats, in reserves and some at home, with their owners.

Their caretakers and other wildlife experts share &nbsp;great stories about the animals' personalities and habits, that will make your kids love them even more. After each segment, the animal's cuteness is voted and, at the end of the episode, they are ranked wit the cutest animal taking the number one spot. </p><h2 data-header-link="Our Planet">Our Planet</h2><p><strong>Perfect for:</strong> Kids from 7-12 years who dream of one day exploring the jungles, oceans, mountains and forests of the world, and all the animals within.</p><p>As far as educational programmes spotlighting animals go, you can never go wrong with anything narrated by the legendary David Attenborough. Our Planet, the eight-part limited series on Netflix, will bring the most exciting and beautiful parts of the world right into your living room, and will allow your kids to experience the animals that inhabit them up close. Travelling to frozen worlds to meet polar bears, penguins and walruses, and diving deep down into the darkest part of the oceans to introduce us to the weirdest and most wonderful creatures, Attenborough teaches kids about the habits and habitats of a huge variety of animals. The footage is absolutely stunning and will show your children animals they have never heard of or seen before. They will learn everything from strange hunting techniques to the most extravagant pre-mating rituals, giving them plenty to have a giggle about too. </p><h2 data-header-link="72 Dangerous Animals">72 Dangerous Animals</h2><p><strong>Perfect for: </strong>Kids of 13 years and older who like a bit of action, a jumpy viewing experience, and the animal kingdom's most dangerous species.</p><p>72 Cute Animals already covered the fluffy and adorable variety, now it's time to move on to the kind of animals you wouldn't want to encounter whilst out on a walk. These 72 Dangerous Animals, are more like the kind that would come jumping out at you in a game of <a href="https://blog.kidadl.com/articles/weve-got-the-best-classic-family-movies-locked-down" target="_blank">Jumanji</a>! Following the same format as cute series, this show goes off in search of the most dangerous animals in the world and captures them in live action: poisonous snakes going in for the kill, Cayenne ticks laying their evil eggs and rays electrocuting their prey. &nbsp;With one series focused on Latin American and the other on Asian animals, your children will get a good understanding of the different climates and conditions they need for survival. &nbsp;A fair word of warning here: some of the animal facts presented can be a bit scary. Even if your kiddo falls into the recommended age group, some could be too sensitive to some of the footage and talk about poisonous, disease inducing bites. </p><p>Netflix is a great source for educational children's series and, as you can see, it offers plenty for the animal nuts of the family. So, stop your search right now, and get your kids started on either of these educational series about or featuring animals. </p>

5 Best Educational Programmes On Netflix For Animal-Loving Kids

<p>TINA - The Tina Turner Musical keeps extending its run on stage at the Aldwych theatre in Covent Garden for very good reason, it’s simply the best. If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for! Here are 5 things you can expect from this brilliant show.</p><h2>Classics Hits</h2><p>Obviously the show is jam-packed with the rock-and-roll queen’s hits. You’ll struggle to stay in your seat when the cast are belting out classics like Proud Mary, River Deep - Mountain High and The Best. You’ll have Tina on repeat for weeks to come.</p><h2>A Sing-A-Long</h2><p>It’d be hard to stay quiet whilst hearing such great music but don’t worry, you don’t have to! Before the show there’s an announcement that encourages you to sing-a-long and move to the music. So, instead of pre-theatre dinner may give a vocal warm-up a go!</p><h2>Heart-felt Honesty</h2><p>The show isn’t all upbeat though. As it’s an honest depiction of Tina Turner’s life, there are some more serious and moving moments. There’s insight into her difficult relationship with Ike Turner and a background look at how she defied the bounds of her race, age and gender. You may want to take some tissues as well as your dancing shoes.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:100%;"><img src="https://media.kidadl.com/5da7008db19a21b273e1c4f4-the-cast-of-tina-onstage.jpeg" alt="Young Tina and the cast onstage in TINA" srcset="https://media.kidadl.com/thumbnail_5da7008db19a21b273e1c4f4-the-cast-of-tina-onstage.jpeg 234w,https://media.kidadl.com/small_5da7008db19a21b273e1c4f4-the-cast-of-tina-onstage.jpeg 500w,https://media.kidadl.com/medium_5da7008db19a21b273e1c4f4-the-cast-of-tina-onstage.jpeg 750w,https://media.kidadl.com/large_5da7008db19a21b273e1c4f4-the-cast-of-tina-onstage.jpeg 1000w,https://media.kidadl.com/5da7008db19a21b273e1c4f4-the-cast-of-tina-onstage.jpeg 1600w" sizes="100vw" width="1600"></figure><h2>A Quality Cast</h2><p>If you’ve read any reviews of TINA, you’ll probably have seen the endless praise of the lead’s voice. Aisha Jawando plays Tina brilliantly, her voice is incredible and she fills Tina’s shoes so well you almost forget it’s not actually her. The rest of the cast are just as good, Ashley Zhangazha pays Ike and the ensemble is full of powerful voices and strong characters.</p><h2>To Become Tina Obsessed</h2><p>If you’re not a Tina fan before you see this show, you will be when you leave! The musical leaves you with a curiosity for all things Tina, watch the film, read her auto-biography, maybe even take a trip to her home-town in Tennessee. You’ll definitely be hooked on this star’s amazing life story.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:100%;"><img src="https://media.kidadl.com/tina_and_the_girls_onstage_in_tina_70334ba0a7.jpg"></figure><p>TINA - The Tina Turner Musical is on at the Aldwych Theatre, booking is available for performances until June 2020. The musical is best suited to teenagers but we've got plenty of other suggestions if you're looking for a show for younger kids!</p>
