Bringing Peppa Pig to Play 

Working closely with Merlin Magic Making (MMM), 2Heads helped build the overarching narrative and structure of the show. At the heart of the idea was a four-act story, led by Peppa and George puppets, supported by a live host, named Alex, and a large LED backdrop. The puppets interacted directly with the screen content, blending physical performance with animated environments. All characters were carefully adapted to reflect a LEGO® aesthetic, reinforcing the DUPLO® connection. Each act was intentionally short, dynamic and interactive designed to match the attention spans of young children. 

The design of the experience focused on immersion, approachability and physical comfort for families. Soft seating elements such as bean bags, alongside scenic props like faux logs, mirrored the environments seen on screen and helped ground the experience in a playful, outdoor world. The show was performed in both English and Danish, ensuring accessibility for international and local audiences. Animated narration was also produced in both languages with clarity and consistency throughout. Bubbles, music and movement added sensory layers without overwhelming the space, keeping the focus firmly on joy, familiarity and fun. 

From a technical perspective, the challenge was creating a seamless system that worked reliably in a live theme park environment. 2Heads programmed the full show playback into dedicated software and integrated it directly with LEGOLAND’s existing park systems. This included synchronising animation, sound, lighting cues and puppet interaction, as well as managing the queueing and timing system, which proved to be a critical operational component of the experience. A large-format LED screen formed the visual backbone of the show, delivering animated environments that the puppets could interact with in real time.  

With the the tight timelines, close collaboration and meticulous planning from 2Heads, LEGOLAND, MMM and the Peppa Pig stakeholders were required. Key rehearsals were held off site and intense training was provided to LEGOLAND park staff who became event puppeteers, expertly handling the puppets on live days. 2Heads supported by developing clear scripts, simplified choreography and a detailed timing board that helped the operations team manage show start times and guest flow. Hands-on rehearsals and clear visual cues guided performers through language barriers and learning curves ensuring confidence by launch.
