This family show is wonderfully wholesome entertainment with plenty of appeal for all ages. Based on Noel Streatfeild’s classic children’s novel about three ambitious young orphans who have been raised as sisters, it sticks with the original 1930s setting and sprinkles in a few contemporary-tinged surprises. Katy Rudd’s staging is enchanting, set within a real cabinet of curiosities.

There is a budding romance between two of the adult characters, but, above all, the show celebrates the love shared by found family, the joy of performing, and, for middle child Petrova, the wonder of all things mechanical. Plus, you’ll leave wanting to dance the Charleston!
