From the moment we were welcomed to the theatre, the staff were friendly and smiley. This feels so rare nowadays and I commented to my husband how friendly everyone seemed. There were boosters for children ready at the sides- it wasn't a faff and this just made it feel calm and organised. The show itself was spectacular. The perfect length for little ones (mine was 4). I thought the cast were exceptional. I loved how they personified the book characters with inside jokes for adults and children. It had the right amount of interaction- it didn't feel like a panto but kept the children entertained just when they may have started to get restless. My whole family loved this show and we will definitely look out for more by the company in the future- thank you!

Show was great, highly engaging for kids and the organization and service at the theatre was excellent. Only negative of the experience was that I did not receive my tickets by email even though I confirmed twice, so I had to arrive early to get them. It took very little time to get them but it meant adding some extra time to my morning planning so this was a minor inconvenience.

Watch a classic bedtime favourite burst to life in a magical, musical adventure for kids and grown-ups alike.

Follow Mouse through the deep dark wood as clever storytelling, catchy songs and lively characters keep little ones spellbound.

Created by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, the award-winning duo behind one of the most successful picture books of all time.

Brought to the stage by Tall Stories, known for energetic, imaginative productions that make theatre fun and accessible for young audiences.

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!

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.
