Gertie is the littlest yak in her whole herd, and she’s feeling stuck in her smallness -she wants to grow UP and have BIGNESS and TALLNESS!
But when it turns out that there are some things that only Gertie can do, might she come to see that she’s perfect, just the way she is?
This musical adaptation of the award-winning children’s book will delight audiences young and old with beautiful puppets, catchy tunes and an uplifting tale of self-acceptance for all the family.
Gertie is great at being the littlest yak, with the curliest, whirliest wool and the grippiest of hooves for clip-clopping up cliffs. Only Gertie doesn’t want to be the littlest. She’s in a rush to grow up and be just like THE BIG YAKS. But what if there are some things that only a Gertie can do? A gorgeous story celebrating YOU being perfect…just the way you are!
LAStheatre brings The Littlest Yak to the stage in spectacular fashion. Join them for a dazzling adventure into the heart of the Himalayas. Nominated for a YAKTASTIC 4 OffWestEnd Awards!

Both performances will be BSL interpreted.
The 1pm performance will be a Relaxed Performance (RP) . Relaxed Performances have sensory adaptations such as raised lighting and lower sound levels.
A Touch Tour will take place before the Relaxed Performance. Touch Tours gives families a chance to touch the set, props and costumes and familiarise themselves with the world of the show before the performance. This may be particularly useful to blind or visually impaired audience members, or those with sensory issues. This must be booked in advance.
