The Lamb Who Came for Dinner – A Heart-Warming New Stage Musical

Based on the much-loved picture book The Lamb Who Came for Dinner, this brand-new musical adaptation brings warmth, wit, and delightful songs to the classic tale of an unlikely friendship.

“When a hungry old wolf gets an unexpected visit from a little lamb, he starts planning a delicious hotpot. But the lamb doesn’t want to be the wolf’s dinner – she wants to be his friend…”

In this charming musical, Wolf’s rumbling tummy meets Lamb’s boundless cheer, turning a simple supper into a journey of compassion, bravery, and the transformative power of kindness. With vibrant characters, and heartfelt humour, families of all ages will fall in love with this uplifting story all over again.

Adapted for the stage by Bridget Foreman from the book by Steve Smallman and Joëlle Dreidemy, and brought to life by the award-winning Riding Lights Theatre Company, The Lamb Who Came for Dinner is a joyous celebration of friendship in the most unexpected places.

Perfect for children, families, and anyone who believes a big heart can change the world.
