    Pippa’s Poppets was created and founded by West End and Broadway composer and lyricist, Pippa Cleary, who always had a passion for children’s entertainment and education. She wanted to try something a little different to the norm and so in 2009, set about writing original songs to use in her classes. She found that the children loved her music and responded incredibly well. It was then that Pippa’s Poppets was born and has now been going strong for 15 years!

    When Pippa is not working closely with her team at Pippa’s Poppets, she can be found writing and composing music for musicals, adverts, films, children’s entertainment and much more! She is the only British female composer to have three West End shows and is also currently writing the music for two new children’s animatic, Journey to the Christmas Star and Cinderella, with Norwegian film company Storm films. She has also written the music and lyrics for three children’s musicals for the Singapore Repertory Theatre, Red Riding Hood, Treasure Island and Chicken Little.

    The team at Pippa’s Poppets is incredibly closeknit and are all dedicated to the success and development of the children we teach. We are all connected to the professional theatre industry in some way, with our teachers all being highly skilled actors, who have also worked in the children’s entertainment industry for many years. Everyone that works at Pippa’s Poppets has the same love for inspiring children as Pippa had and still does to this day. Our aim is to immerse children in the joys of entertainment through storytelling and movement from an early age, helping them build confidence along the way.
