Everyone's favourite double team will be crashing into Bristol next year for a fun-filled live show.
There was widespread disappointment in the city at the start of 2019 when a 38-date Wallace and Gromit tour was announced with no Bristol date, as there were no available venues.
But today the Hippodrome has given us reasons to be cheerful by announcing that the highly acclaimed show will finally be coming home, with two separate performances on May 31, 2020.
One of the highlights of the spectacle will be a screening of all-time classic The Wrong Trousers complete with a live orchestra.
Alongside that other vintage Aardman film clips will be screened accompanied by classical and popular music before the crowd watches on as Wallace performs his Musical Marvel, My Concerto in Ee Lad, with help from his faithful canine companion.
The orchestra will be formed of some of the UK’s finest musicians, with players hand-picked from leading orchestras including the BBC Philharmonic, Hallé, LSO and BBC Symphony.
A spokesperson described the show as 'a fantastic opportunity for young audiences to experience live classical music for the first time, in an accessible, fun way'.
The tour is presented by Carrot Productions, in association with Aardman.
Carrot's Managing Director, Rachel Whibley, said: "With six years’ experience behind us of presenting The Snowman to thousands of satisfied audience members across the country, we are well placed to deliver this wonderful Wallace & Gromit programme.
"Our recent tour provided a huge amount of pleasure and fun to audiences of all ages, and it was a privilege to present such a high-quality show in partnership with the inspirational team at Aardman."
Tickets
There will also be a chance for ticket holders to join a model making workshop before or after the show, giving fans of all ages the opportunity to learn from Aardman's expert model builders and take home their very own Gromit.
Booking for the two performances on May 31 is now open via the Bristol Hippodrome website.
