The original Chinese musical Hi, Sid! is a work performed by both professional musical theatre actors and child actors. It tells the story of a seed named Sid, who dreams of germinating and growing, but after countless efforts, he realises that whether he sprouts or not is not what's important, the important thing is… The fate of a little seed touches the hearts of countless people. Does a seed have to sprout? The entire performance will be in Chinese and is suitable for ages 5+. Part of China-Britain Culture and Art Festival.
