Humpty Dumpty is dead – was he pushed? Did he jump? Or was it simply a great fall? Enter Jill, a filmmaker with big dreams and an even bigger problem: she's on trial for egg-icide. With BB Wolf defending her, Little Red out for blood and a courtroom messier than Jack and Jill's tumble down that hill, this case is gripping the nation. Tabloid media, conspiracy theorists and familiar fairy-tale faces combine in this wild, hilarious musical that will have you hooked from the first note
A fun family fantasy.
If you were a fan of works like Jaffa Cake The Musical at last year's fringe, this will be right up your street!
Humpty Dumpty is dead.
His fate in the hands of Wolf & Red.
But what will the jury (that's us) decide?
Will we believe Jill, or fall for her lies?
This retelling follows the murder of (apparently) royal egg-celence, as The Fairy Godmother acts as judge for his trial. Jack is a big celebrity now, leaving his sister Jill under scrutiny for MURDER.
A dedicated cast whip through multiple roles at speed while performing comedic choreography and laugh-out-loud lyrics for audiences of all ages.
