The Gruffalo said that no Gruffalo should
Ever set foot in the deep dark wood…
Join the Gruffalo’s Child on her adventurous mission in this magical musical adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s much-loved picture book. One wild and windy night the Gruffalo’s Child ignores her father’s warnings about the Big Bad Mouse and tiptoes out into the deep dark wood. After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn’t really exist... does he?
The team behind The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and The 13-, 26-, 52-, 78- & 91-Storey Treehouses return with songs, laughs and scary fun for children aged 3 and up, and their adults.
“winningly played” - Sydney Morning Herald
“can't fail to please” - Brisbane Courier Mail
“...this brave little offspring of the Gruffalo captures the young audience and keeps it entranced…plenty of audience involvement to keep the kids active and engaged....” - Stage Whispers
