Wallace and Gromit are coming to the big screen at The Lowry and will be accompanied by a live orchestra.
Their Musical Marvels show is stopping off in Salford for just one date as part of a wider UK tour celebrating 30 years of the hapless duo.
As well as brand new music to accompany Musical Marvels, which was first screened at the BBC Proms in 2012, there'll be interactive elements and presenting - from internationally renowned musician, actor, director and performer Matthew Sharp - who will keep the entertainment flowing.
Those behind the show say it's 'a fantastic opportunity for young audiences to experience live classical music for the first time, in an accessible, fun way'.
Parents will also be able to re-live their youth, with a screening in the second half of the all-time classic Aardman animation, The Wrong Trousers, again with live orchestral accompaniment – a world first.
And there'll also be a chance 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.
The tour is presented by Carrot Productions, who have been given exclusive rights to tour the production and were the company that brought The Snowman to the big screen with orchestral accompaniment.
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.
"It will be a pleasure to present such a high-quality show in partnership with the inspirational team at Aardman, providing huge fun for audiences of all ages."
Sean Clarke, head of rights and brand development at Aardman, added: “Carrot Productions have produced a fantastic show, featuring live orchestral music for one of Aardman’s best loved shorts, The Wrong Trousers, and we look forward to audiences across the UK having the opportunity to enjoy this unique musical experience.”
There are two performances of Musical Marvels at 1pm and 4pm on Sunday, May 26. The show runs for 85 minutes including an interval.
Tickets, starting from £12, can be booked online .
