Theatre / Toto the Ninja Cat

Toto The Ninja Cat fly kicks onto the Redgrave Theatre stage

By Sarski Anderson  Wednesday Jul 1, 2026

In a brand-new family musical, Toto The Ninja Cat will be fly kicking onto the Redgrave Theatre stage at the end of July.

The show is a co-production from Little Angel Theatre, Mercury Theatre Colchester and Mayflower Theatre – and brings The Great Snake Escape, the first in Dermot O’Leary’s bestselling children’s books series, to life for young audiences.

The eponymous hero, Toto, is a cat who is almost blind, and possessed with ninja abilities – as well as “a big heart, and a nose for adventure”.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.
