Billionaire Boy

Imagine this. You're 12 years old and your dad is a real, genuine billionaire. You've got everything you could possibly want, and there's nothing you can't afford. Meet Joe Spud, who lives with his dad. Mr Spud made his billions from Bumfresh toilet paper. They live in a vast mansion, and Joe goes to a posh school. He has two pet crocodiles and cars of his own. But he doesn't have a friend. He's lonely, sad, and bored. When Joe leaves his posh public school to go to a local comprehensive school, and makes a new friend called Bob, he quickly finds out that money isn't everything. And his life changes in the most amazing way.

The story is lifted from the best-selling children's book by our very own national treasure David Walliams. Published in 2011, it was adapted for the BBC for early 2016. Billionaire Boy remains enormously popular with children all over the country. The stage version comes to us via the award-winning West End producers of 2017's Gangsta Granny, the awesome Birmingham Stage Company, and it's playing at the Garrick Theatre in summer 2021. What a fabulous treat for the kids!
