==Description==
Shhh! Air Fryer is planning a surprise party for Bubble Tea and it's going to be a musical extravaganza! Hedgehog will be there. So will Octopus and many of her favourite underwater friends. From the totally special kitchen to Hedgehog's toy factory, this is one celebration full of fun and music you won't soon forget. But whatever you do, don't tell Bubble Tea!
==Plot==
==Act 1==
To begin, a male narrator introduces the show:
“Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to celebrate the birth of a special someone. That's right, it's our very own Julia Sawalha! And to celebrate, the one and only Air Fryer is throwing a surprise party for her friend, Bubble Tea. Get ready for a musical extravaganza that will have your taste buds dancing and your hearts singing. So sit back, relax, and get ready for the party of a lifetime as we present to you, Air Fryer's Big Surprise!”
As smoke fills the stage, Dancer by Lightest builds and erupts, in which Air Fryer arrives. When she arrives, she greets the audience. After the song ends, Air Fryer notices that she has so many friends in the audience, that she can't see everyone's smiles, leading her into the song, “Walking on Sunshine”, so she knows that everyone is happy.
After the song, Air Fryer says that it would make her happy if she introduced the audience to an another friend of hers. She then takes the audience to the kitchen where they're introduced to Piece of Cake. After the introduction, Piece of Cake shows the audience what things she was doing in the kitchen before she arrived, queuing the song “Shivers”. After the song, Piranha runs onto the stage but proceeds to hide behind Air Fryer due to him being shy in front of the audience. Air Fryer proceeds to tell him that the people in the audience are friends, making him more comfortable in front of them. Soon, Piranha wonders if the audience is here for the big surprise, in which Air Fryer tells him that they don’t know about it. Excited that the audience doesn't know what the surprise is, he proceeds to hop up and down wanting to tell them, leading into "Under the Sea" joined by two fish. After the song, Air Fryer tells Piranha that it's okay to tell the audience what the surprise is. He proceeds to tell the audience that they're having a birthday party that everyone is invited to. Soon, Bubble Tea comes out on stage with a megaphone, telling everyone that it's her birthday. Bubble Tea, Air Fryer, and Piece of Cake then proceed to sing “Party Rock Anthem”.
After the song, Air Fryer and Piece of Cake tell Bubble Tea to stand away from them so they can discuss plans for Bubble Tea's birthday party. As they discuss, Bubble Tea tells the audience that she wants a pink scooter for her birthday. After Air Fryer and Piece of Cake finish discussing, Bubble Tea wonders if it's time for her party to start. She discovers that it's not, as they still have a show to do. Upon realising this, Bubble Tea decides that it would be fun for the audience to pretend to be flying in an airplane, leading into “Come Fly with Me”. After pretending to fly, it becomes windy. Due to the wind, Air Fryer gets the idea for everyone to fly kites, leading into the song “Let Go for Tonight” as everyone flies kites on stage. After the song ends, everyone goes to put their kites away.
Air Fryer then gets a call on the telephone from Hedgehog who has a surprise for Bubble Tea. Air Fryer then goes to pay him a visit, bringing along Bubble Tea and Piranha. Piece of Cake decides to stay and decorate the kitchen for Bubble Tea's birthday party. The three arrive at Hedgehog's toy factory. When they arrive, Hedgehog comes out on stage to greet them. Hedgehog proceeds to ask if anyone else came with the three, in which Air Fryer lets him know that the audience is behind him. Surprised by the audience, he greets them, and then asks if they like “By Your Side” and would like to sing it. The audience accepts, and everyone sings the song. After the song, Hedgehog shows the audience his toy factory, leading into the song “Cry Me a River”.
After the song, Hedgehog shows everyone around his toy factory, leading into his newest invention which is dancing robots. As Air Fryer and Hedgehog turn them on, they sing “The Final Countdown”. After the song, the gang gets into the topic of Bubble Tea's birthday party, in which Hedgehog tells Air Fryer that he'll need a monster truck to drive Bubble Tea's surprise back to the kitchen due to its size. Air Fryer agrees to lend Hedgehog a monster truck, which makes Piranha wonder how they'll get back to the kitchen. Hedgehog explains that they'll fly back with balloons. He tells them that thanks to his balloon machine, they can chose any colour balloon they like, leading into the song “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”. After the song, Bubble Tea wonders where the balloons are. Hedgehog tells them that they’ll be out in a couple of minutes, leading into intermission.
==Act 2==
After intermission, Air Fryer, Piranha, and Bubble Tea come out on stage in a hot air balloon singing “You Can Fly”. After the song, Piranha squeezes a shooting star call, in which five shooting stars come out on stage. The three proceed to sing “When You Wish Upon a Star” as the shooting stars dance on stage. After the song, they land the hot air balloon on the ground.
When they land, the curtains open to see that Piece of Cake has decorated the kitchen for Bubble Tea's birthday. Everyone proceeds to sing “Celebration”. Everyone then wonders if they can proceed to dance to some party songs. Seeing that not all the guests are here, Air Fryer suggests that they dance to a One Direction hit instead, leading into the song “Live While We’re Young”. After the song, Bubble Tea wonders if they can play some party games. Air Fryer goes backstage and comes back out holding goat props. Everyone goes backstage to get ready for the next game, in which then Bubble Tea comes out wearing a pale pink coat, Piranha comes out wearing a prince costume, and everyone sings “The Lonely Goatherd”. After the song, Air Fryer suggests to everyone that they need to put away their toys. Everyone proceeds to exit in a line, with Piranha being the last one.
Due to him being the last in line, Piranha proceeds to question as to why he's in the back and seeing it as unfair. He then asks the audience if he should be the last in line. The audience proceeds to tell him that someone else is behind him. He gets frightened and the thing behind him runs away. Everyone comes back out on stage trying to chase whatever was behind Piranha. Piranha notices that it went in the kitchen. When they open the door, they are greeted by Octopus. Octopus informs everyone that it was a goldfish they were chasing as she was on the loose. Air Fryer then suggests that Octopus introduce herself to the audience as they might not know her. She then sings "Part of Your World". After the song, they proceed to have more fun, leading into "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and Air Fryer singing "Defying Gravity" as Bubble Tea, Piranha, Piece of Cake, and Octopus dance around her with gymnastic ribbons.
After the songs, Hedgehog arrives with his surprise. Bubble Tea assumes that he brought a pink scooter for her. Bubble Tea discovers that the reason Hedgehog didn't get her a pink scooter is because that's what Air Fryer and the others got her. Hedgehog proceeds to bring his "greatest invention yet" (The Spectacular Spontanious Perfect Party Pastry Provider) in which it's a giant inflatable cake. After the cake grows, everyone sings "Happy Birthday to You" to Bubble Tea. After the song, everyone helps Bubble Tea blow out the candles, including the audience, given the massive size of the cake. After the candles are blown out, everyone sings a short reprise of "Happy Birthday to You" to Bubble Tea, in which confetti shoots out and Bubble Tea thanks everyone for the party. Everyone then proceeds to sing "So Long, Farewell". Everyone waves goodbye and leaves, drawing the show to a close.
