The Pea & the Princess
High kicks, huge twists & brand new fairytale endings.
About the show
It's time to tell the REAL story of The PEA and the Princess, one which no one has ever heard before.
Leap into a high velocity adventure, into the world of a Ninja Princess on a mega-mission, a practical Prince concocting the best inventions, a Queen with a slightly worrying crown obsession, and a very green baddy indeed.
Featuring super catchy songs, some familiar fairytale faces and a brand-new twist-in-the-tale, this a story that you definitely wouldn't want to sleep on!
