Next spring award-winning arts venue The Vaults will host the world theatre premiere of Goosebumps in a strictly limited run, exclusive to London. Working closely with publisher Scholastic, The Vaults have been granted permission to create an immersive world based on the phenomenally popular book series, for one run only from 6 April to 4 September 2016.
This is the first time the books have been adapted for the stage. Tickets are now on sale. The interactive show will be promenade style, as audience members wind their way through the abandoned railway tunnels of The Vaults and through a series of spine-tingling scenes inspired by some of Stine’s most iconic creations, including Stay Out Of The Basement, One Day In Horrorland, Night Of The Living Dummy and Say Cheese, And Die!
Goosebumps will combine sharp storytelling from immersive stalwart Tom Salamon with an array of unforgettable effects, including artwork from the original book jacket illustrator Tim Jacobus, design by Samuel Wyer, sound design from Daffyd Gough as well as puppets and animatronics.
Cult-favourite 1990s band The Tiger Lillies have also been brought onboard to provide an original score. The production is aimed at adults, with a children’s version of the show (Goosebumps KIDS) opening in May to run on weekends and holidays (14 May to 4 September).
