Get ahead on planning for the Easter Holidays as Gabby’s Dollhouse LIVE! arrives in Bournemouth.
DreamWorks Animation, Universal Destinations & Experiences, TEG Life Like Touring and TEG Live Europe are delighted to announce the UK premiere season of Gabby's Dollhouse LIVE! set to arrive at Bournemouth International Centre for two performances on Thursday 16 April 2026.
This will mark the UK live stage debut for Gabby's Dollhouse LIVE!, based on the global preschool sensation from DreamWorks Animation. The hit mixed media series has become the most-watched kids' show on Netflix, and follows the fun adventures of Gabby, as she unboxes a brand-new surprise in every episode before jumping into a fantastical world full of adorable cat characters that live inside her magical dollhouse.
In this a-MEOW-zing new musical show, Gabby unboxes a special acorn that needs the magical touch of a rainbow to grow. But when CatRat causes a colour cat-astrophe and breaks the rainbow, Gabby and the Gabby Cats must find the colours again to set things right.
“DreamWorks is excited to be collaborating with TEG to bring Gabby’s Dollhouse Live! to the UK,” said Michael Vollman, EVP, Marketing for DreamWorks Animation. “Whether in cinemas or at home on television, Gabby’s Dollhouse has always been a world full of magic, music and friendship, and this live show is no exception. It’s a great time to be a Gabby fan.”
Universal Destinations & Experiences, SVP of Global Location Based Entertainment & Licensing, Gerald Raines stated, “We are delighted to work with TEG and DreamWorks Animation to bring this exciting show to Gabby’s many fans across the UK.”
TEG Group CEO Geoff Jones said, “TEG is extremely happy to be bringing this beloved DreamWorks franchise to life on stage. Being granted the rights to develop and tour this new stage show worldwide is an incredible achievement for TEG Life Like Touring. This production will capture the magic of Gabby and her friends live on stage when it opens the UK in 2026.”
It has been a cat-tastic year for Gabby’s Dollhouse, with Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie hitting cinemas to global acclaim, Gabby's Dollhouse LIVE! touring Australia and most recently, Season 12, which premiered on Netflix last month.
This new stage production of Gabby's Dollhouse LIVE! brings to life an exciting original story featuring unique puppets, dynamic staging, and songs including “Hey Gabby”, “You Can’t Spell Meow Without Me”, “Sprinkle Party”, and others that will have audiences singing and dancing along, from beginning to end.
Gabby's Dollhouse LIVE! will arrive at Bournemouth International Centre for two performances on Thursday 16 April 2026. Tickets are available for newsletter subscribers during the pre-sale on Monday 8 December at 10am, and then during the general sale on Wednesday 10 December, 10am. Visit event page.
