The Dinosaur That Pooped: A Rock Show
If you were confused by the news that a member of millennial punk pop boyband McFly was writing the songs for the new Paddington musical then The Dinosaur That Pooped potentially offers some clues. Writing with bandmate Dougie Poynter, Tom Fletcher has impressive bordering on alarming success as the author of a series of scatalogical kids picture books, many of which come with accompanying songs. The Dinosaur That Pooped series concerns the adventures of young boy Danny and his best pal Dino, a T-rex who eats everything in sight and expels it from his behind in a way that tends to improbably saves the day. Paddington probably isn’t going to be like that (it would be a bold new tack) but crunchy, poppy guitars and sprightly lyrics would not be a surprise. This new live show sees the duo go and see their favourite rock band, only to discover their villainous manager is making things difficult. The solution will inevitably involve pooing on things. Directed by Miranda Larson, this stage show contains new songs from Fletcher and Poynter.
