Babies

Why see Babies?

Babies London

A fiery pop-rock soundtrack, teens stumbling their way into adulthood, and a whole lot of nappies to change! Babies at London's Other Palace is a hilarious reality check. After winning the hearts of audiences and critics during its initial run at the New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich, and a smash-hit run at London's Lyric Theatre in 2023, this fully realised production is ready to take the West End by storm.

About Babies 

Following an increase in pregnancies among the senior class, the school's sex education department decides to step in and implement measures...

Year 11 is hard enough as it is for any teen, but for this group of classmates, reality is about to hit them like a train!  When they are confronted with an unexpected assignment: caring for a lifelike robot baby, naturally, what ensues is a whole lot of chaos...and the realisation that the transition from childhood to adulthood may be much harder than they thought.
