Roll up, roll up!  The circus is coming!

​

And, ladies and gentlemen, steel yourselves for the most grotesque, most nightmarish, most horriblest freak the dead-end town of Grimpton has ever set its eyes upon:

The Little Zombie Girl!

​

Wait... what do you mean she’s escaped?!

A comic, heart-warming, Gothic opera about an undead girl blessed with a magical singing voice.

​

Ever since she was raised from the dead, the circus has exploited her and her magical singing to pull in the crowds. But now that The Little Zombie Girl’s escaped, is she free of the circus and its cruel exploitation – or does her magic voice simply bring out the greed in everyone?

​

The Little Zombie Girl is a comedy about trust, self-acceptance and belonging... and, obviously, an escaped zombie!

​

Young people aged 8-17 can audition to join our main chorus, and this year there will also be the opportunity to audition for two specific roles:
