The Dinosaur That Pooped a Rock Show Is Coming to Castle Theatre Wellingborough

Get ready for a whole new level of poop-tastic chaos, because Danny and Dino are heading to the stage right here in Northamptonshire, and I think this one’s going to be a big hit with the kids.

The Dinosaur That Pooped a Rock Show is landing at Castle Theatre in Wellingborough on Sunday 30th August, right at the tail end of the summer holidays, so it’s a great one to pop in the diary for that last big outing before school starts back.

What’s the show about?

When Danny and Dino’s favourite rock band announce their last ever concert, the pair go on a mission to bag the final two tickets. Of course, nothing goes to plan, especially with a villainous band manager lurking about. Will the band perform? Will Danny get to rock out? Or will Dino’s rumbling tummy end up saving the day?

The show is adapted from the number 1 best-selling books by Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter, and brings a brand new story to the stage, complete with new songs written by Tom and Dougie themselves. Expect plenty of laughs and, naturally, a whole lot of poo. It’s produced by Mark Thompson Productions Limited and directed by Miranda Larson.

With two performances on the day, it’s worth booking early if you want a specific time slot, especially as it falls on one of the last weekends of the summer holidays when everyone’s trying to squeeze in one more day out.

This is exactly the kind of thing I love flagging up for you all, because shows like this sell out fast once word gets round. If you want to stay ahead of what’s on across Northamptonshire, my weekly newsletter rounds up everything worth knowing about each week, so you never miss a booking window. And if the weather doesn’t play ball on the day, my rainy day ideas pack is a handy free download to keep in your back pocket.

Tickets and full details are available through Castle Theatre directly, so I’d recommend booking sooner rather than later to bag your preferred time.
