Jacqueline Wilson's Wonderful World

Join Blue Peter’s Mwaksy for a special event celebrating children’s author Dame Jacqueline Wilson, featuring CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ stars and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Orchestra.

Join Blue Peter’s Mwaksy in London for an access-all-areas ticket to a special event celebrating Dame Jacqueline Wilson, one of the UK’s favourite children’s authors. On stage at London’s Barbican Hall are the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Orchestra with CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ stars for a concert full of music and readings. CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s The Beaker Girls, Dani Harmer and Emma Maggie Davies perform readings from The Story of Tracy Beaker and My Mum Tracy Beaker. Looking back on her role in the CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ adaptation of Hetty Feather, Isabel Clifton takes the audience to the circus for the moment when Hetty meets Madame Adeline for the first time, and Chloe Lea, the lead in CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Katy, brings to life the moment when Katy realises that she can still have a fun and active life.

Dame Jacqueline is the star of the show as she brings the Great Exhibition of 1851 to life with an extract from The Runaway Girls, while her latest book, The Primrose Railway Children, gives the audience tickets for a special steam train journey.
Mei-Ann Chen conducts the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Orchestra, with music from composers such as Igor Stravinsky, Anna Clyne, Julius Fucik, Rautavaara and Hans Christian Lumbye. There is also a new arrangement of The Story of Tracy Beaker theme.
There is exclusive behind-the-scenes concert access along with interviews and moments from your favourite stories and CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ shows.
