Billionaire Boy
From the award-winning West End producers of Gangsta Granny and Horrible Histories comes this amazing new production of David Walliams’ best-selling story. My 9 year old son loves the David Walliams books, he’s read them all- I think Billionaire Boy is one of his favourite. The story follows Joe Spud, the richest boy is the country, but what he doesn’t have is any friends and that’s what he wants most in the world.

The most enchanted musical of all time is coming to Manchester from March 2022.
