“I have loved playing James in James and the Giant Peach,” said Kian Parke.”I have enjoyed working with my fellow actors and friends, also having a great director and production team. I will have amazing memories from it and it feels like being in a book.”
James and the Giant Peach follows the journey of James, a lonely boy who escapes his miserable aunts and finds friendship, courage, and adventure inside a magical oversized peach. Alongside a charming crew of larger-than-life insect companions, James embarks on a fantastical voyage across the ocean, filled with dazzling songs, colorful characters, and the heartwarming reminder that family can be found in the most unexpected places. Expect laughter, friendship, and a magical ocean voyage like no other.
“James and the Giant Peach is such a fun story about courage, friendship, and finding family in unexpected places,” said Krissy McGregor. “Our cast has really brought the magic and whimsy of Roald Dahl’s world to life — audiences are going to love the music, laughter, and adventure.”
