The Three Little Pigs (Dutch: De 3 Biggetjes) is a Flemish-Dutch musical, based on the fairy tale of the same name and serves as a sequel to it. The leading roles are played by the pop group K3. The musical tells the story of the three daughters of the pig with the brick house: Knirri, Knarri, and Knorri, who work as waitresses in their mother's Three Little Pigs Café. Meanwhile, the big bad wolf now has three sons, who are the same age as the three pig sisters. The wolf wants his sons to catch the three pig sisters as part of a personal vendetta, but the pigs and wolves fall in love with each other instead.
