Celebrating 25 years, Julia Donaldson's beloved The Gruffalo returns to the stage! This musical is the perfect introduction to theatre for kids, filled with songs, laughs, and a brave little mouse who outsmarts the woods with his wits.

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. This production by Tall Stories, a company known for innovative children's theater, brings the classic story to life with infectious energy. At the helm is visionary director Olivia Jacobs, whose background in storytelling and puppetry guarantees a visually stunning and engaging performance.

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?
