The diamond dogs are out to capture the attention of the Palace theatre audience, with a musical so splendiferous it doesn’t leave a sequin out of place.

A multitude of golden tickets have been dispatched, offering Palace Theatre audiences the chance to watch the live reincarnation of Roald Dahl’s 1964 children's classic.
