You Choose – every show is unique! 

Based on the brilliant book by Pippa Goodhart and Nick Sharratt Nonsense Room Productions (Shark in the Park and Hairy Maclary Shows) bring you an interactive musical show for all the family. But in this show – YOU CHOOSE what happens!

Using the picture book as inspiration and through a series of games and challenges each show will be unique with different characters, locations, costumes and much more every time!

“It’s all as entertainingly random as the book, particularly for those younger people in attendance. The manner in which they go about the choosing is joyous, inviting young volunteers from the audience to pick a character…." David Pollock, The List

“Quite simply, it's fun, it's funny, it appears a simple format but is actually clever; it's a great family show…" Anne Hamilton, Lothian Life

“There is plenty of choice and bundles of energy at Nonsense Room Productions’ adaptation of the children’s picture book, You Choose…." Thom Dibdin, All Edinburgh Theatre.

Suitable for ages 2-7.
