Reserves and Prices

Andy and Terry’s treehouse just keeps on growing.

With yet another 13 levels, it’s now got a Scribbletorium, a high-security potato chip storage facility (guarded by one very angry duck!) and even an open-air movie theatre.  

Speaking of movies, our friends are going to be famous! The legendary Mr Big Shot has arrived to make a Hollywood blockbuster! But when his first step is to fire Andy and replace him with a monkey – well, a gibbon named Mel Gibbon – the battle is on. Will the Treehouse Blockbuster ever get made? Who will win the battle of Andy and Terry? And why are those mysterious spy cows turning up everywhere? 

The team behind The 13 & 91-Storey Treehouse shows brings the blockbuster 78-Storey Treehouse back to the stage for the first time since 2018! Recommended for children aged 6-12 and their adults… but watch out for those cows! 

With great singing, acting, great choreography and impressive sets the 78 Storey Treehouse will definitely be a winner for fans of the book.
