Hey Diddle Diddle – the beauty megamix

Imagine all your favourite nursery rhyme characters rolled into one family musical pantomime. Life at Hey Diddle Diddle village market is happy at nine in the morning until three little pigs go missing. The mood darkens even further as Peter the Pumpkin Eater and Tommy grab more animals including Little Bo Peep’s sheep and Queen Beryl’s pussy cat Sukey to help Mary Mary make her beauty lotion. As the list of disappearing animals grows so does the list of suspects. Is it Humpty Dumpty, Polly Flinders, Curly Locks or King Willie Cole? Queen Beryl hires a new body guard Jack of Many Disguises to work undercover to solve the mystery by the time the clock strikes one. Little Boy Blue keeps track of time for everyone.
