Oi. Oi! OI!… and now that we’ve got your attention, we’ve an exciting announcement for families: the award-winning children’s picture books Oi Frog!, Oi Dog! and Oi Cat! are leaping into the West End in Oi Frog & Friends! this winter.
Based on Kes Gray and Jim Field’s best-selling, beloved books, Oi Frog & Friends! is bounding into London’s Lyric Theatre, playing a limited season from 29 November to 5 January 2020 – the perfect Christmas treat for little ones.
