TIM GILVIN  and Robyn Grant’s new festive family musical THE JINGLECLAW is the first full musical theatre commission by Birmingham Hippodrome’s New Musical Department.  Aimed for those aged 3 to 7, it will run in the Patrick Studio from 12 December to 4 January and will provide a magical, musical introduction to musical theatre for a young audience.  Tim says he’s looking forward to “bringing an array of eclectic, fun, festive bangers to tell the story of The Jingleclaw.  Expect balladeering bats, choral carols and a good old dose of festive rock and roll that will have our audiences dancing in their seats.”
