‘Thanks for the love that you’ve shown me
Right now I’m so very small
But with love and with light
I will keep gaining height
And then one day I’ll stand at a hundred feet tall.’
Hundred Feet Tall is a new 30-minute musical play designed for 4–7-year-olds exploring how you’re never too small to make a big difference.
When Seedar-the-Seed falls on Bekko Bunny’s head, the two form an unlikely friendship, and together navigate the downs and ups of growing up.
Book by Melis Aker and music and lyrics by Benjamin Scheuer. Adapted from the children’s book Hundred Feet Tall (Simon & Schuster) written by Benjamin Scheuer and illustrated by Jemima Williams.
The show will tour for two weeks over the Easter holidays to London libraries.
