The Jingleclaw
The Jingleclaw
A festive family musical by Robyn Grant and Tim Gilvin – the New Musical Theatre department’s first commissioned show under banner, My First Musical.
In a cosy village nestled in the snowy mountains, the Shnootnoot Winter Festival is fast approaching. Astrid is busy practising to play with her school band.
Everyone wants her to keep in time, but Astrid just wants to march to the beat of her own drum. Meanwhile, deep in the Winterwood, The Jingleclaw awakes, a mischievous monster who can’t STAND festive cheer and music.
This production premiered in the Patrick Studio in December 2024 to roaring critical approval.
★★★★★ “As a first step in Birmingham Hippodrome’s ambition to create its own ‘goosebump’ theatre, The Jingleclaw is hugely successful and will hopefully have a life well beyond this Christmas.” – WhatsOnStage
★★★★★ “A spectacularly dazzling, foot-tapping, extravagant and original musical that is truly not one to miss” – Express and Star

No Such Thing As Wolves
No Such Thing As Wolves
A fun-filled musical adventure from Gerard Foster and Richie Webb – two of the writers behind Horrible Histories.
No Such Thing As Wolves follows the story of Hettie Hedgehog, who is ready to hibernate – until her new friend, Sydney Squirrel, convinces her to throw a party instead. But when two mysterious guests arrive with great big ears and pointy teeth, things get paws-itively wild.
Created for everyone aged three and over, No Such Thing As Wolves will premiere in the Patrick Studio in December 2025. It’s the latest festive show presented under the banner of My First Musical.
