With all their millions in the bank, they could afford to fly a host of Broadway stars to their home and put on a special performance.

But instead, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took their children to a low-key event in Richmond to watch a puppet show.

The A-list elite are on UK shores in Surrey while the Fight Club actor shoots his latest film World War Z.

Three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne were treated to a performance of The Three Little Pigs and the Wolf at the Puppet Theatre Barge.

Shiloh, 5, was also in attendance, walking ahead of her parents as they kept their youngest tots close by to prevent anyone going overboard.

As the name suggests, the unique fifty-seat auditorium floats on water.

The shows are aimed at children and adults, with the boat moored in Little Venice throughout the year and in Richmond during the summer.

The eldest boys Maddox, 10, and Pax, seven, seemed to be absent, along with sister Zahara, six.

The family have taken full advantage of their time across the Atlantic n the UK, with various shopping trips, a trip to the West End to see the musical Wicked and even a visit to the rather unglamorous Halfords.

It was rumoured that Maddox was set to make his film debut in a Battling Boy, a film produced by his father, but a spokesperson has just denied it.

The movie, set to be released in 2013 under Pitt's Plan B production company, follows the son of a god, thought to be played by Maddox, as he fights a city of monsters.

But while his career isn't quite ready for launch, Angelina says hers isn't quite ready to stop.

She said: ‘The funny thing about having children is that now I am twice as motivated to do a cool stunt because my kids will like it.

‘I’m very responsible these days not to be self-destructive because of my kids, but at the same time I have all the more reason to do all the cool things possible because I want to try and make my kids proud.’

Brad's latest film is a post-apocalyptic horror film based on the novel of the same name by Max Brooks.

Marc Forster, who directed Bond classic Quantum Of Solace, is the man behind the lens, while Mireille Enos, who plays leading lady Sarah Linden in The Killing, will play Brad's wife.
