Little Howard’s Royal Wedding Song

Blog posted:20 April 2011

This is our favourite YouTube clip of the moment! Little Howard (coming to the Playhouse along with mentor/guardian/comic foil Big Howard on Sunday 1 May) uses the medium of song to remind Kate Middleton that her options are still open…

If this video makes you chuckle, grab the kids and head down to the Playhouse to see LITTLE HOWARD AND THE MAGIC PENCIL OF LIFE AND DEATH. A fab family show featuring the characters from hit CBBC show LITTLE HOWARD’S BIG QUESTION. It will make you laugh, cry, and muse on how giant pencils can shape all of our lives.

Come down and see us, and join an intrepid family of explorers as they make their way through the swishy-swashy grass, splishy-splashy river and thick, oozy mud on their quest to find a bear!
