Why Watch The Gruffalo

Marking the 25th anniversary of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's treasured children's book, The Gruffalo isn't your average kid's show. Julia Donaldson is renowned for her contribution to children's literature, even being made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE). Axel Scheffler, Julia Donaldson's go-to illustrator, has also won acclaim for his work, including the Illustrator of the Year award at the British Book Awards. At the helm is director Olivia Jacobs, co-founder of Tall Stories who's brought other beloved works by the author to the stage. Jacobs promises a furry fun-packed adventure, so book your tickets for The Gruffalo in London's Lyric Theatre today!

The Story

The show follows a brave little mouse on a perilous quest for hazelnuts in the deep dark wood. As he navigates the dangers of the forest, he encounters a series of hungry predators – a sly fox, a wise old owl, and a sneaky snake. With each encounter, the quick-thinking mouse devises a cunning plan to escape their clutches. His secret weapon? A fabricated monster called the Gruffalo, complete with terrifying tusks and a fearsome appetite. But will this imaginary creature be enough to save the day? Book tickets for The Gruffalo in London to find out!

It was very children-friendly and kept them watching all the time; it wasn't too long - just right, with songs and music. Loved it!
