‘No Such Thing as Wolves’ gets Birmingham Hippodrome premiere

Birmingham Hippodrome has treated audiences to a magical first peek at No Such Thing as Wolves, following it opening in the Patrick Studio.

No Such Thing As Wolves is the second production in Birmingham Hippodrome’s My First Musical series, following last year’s five-star hit The Jingleclaw.

No Such Thing as Wolves follows the story of Hettie Hedgehog, who is ready to hibernate – until her new friend, Sydney Squirrel, convinces her to throw a party instead. But when two mysterious guests arrive with great big ears and pointy teeth, things get paws-itively wild.

Packed full of catchy songs, hilarious moments and a den full of endearing woodland characters, the family-friendly musical features West-Midlands based Faye Campbell (Hettie Hedgehog), Beth O’Rorke (Sydney Squirrel) and Elinor Peregrin (Woofy) alongside Matthew Rutherford (Harry Hedgehog) and Oliver Sidney (Wiffy).

No Such Thing as Wolves is brought to life by Stage Debut Award-winning director, Emily Ling Williams (director) and two of the writers behind Horrible Histories - Gerard Foster (book and lyrics), and Richie Webb (music and lyrics).

The creative team also includes Hannah Sibai (set and costume designer), Arielle Smith (choreographer), Gillian Tan (lighting designer), Charlie Smith (sound designer), Alex Beetschen (music supervisor, arranger and orchestrator) and Sarah Morrison (musical director).

No Such Thing as Wolves runs at Birmingham Hippodrome’s Patrick Studio until Sunday 4 January, 2026.
