The Gruffalo Christine Dunstan's and Tall Stories Productions

The magical musical adaption of the award winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, published by Macmillan Children's Books.

‘A mouse took a stroll through the deep, dark wood...'
Whether their favourite food is roasted fox, owl ice cream, scrambled snake or Gruffalo crumble, audiences eat up this delectable tale about the adventures of a clever little mouse in a forest full of predators. Join Mouse on an adventurous journey through the deep, dark wood in this big scary monster of a show.
Mouse can scare hungry animals away with tall stories of the terrifying Gruffalo, but what happens when she comes face to face with the very creature she imagined? 

This monster of a show beautifully captures the magic of Donaldson and Scheffler's adored "modern classic" (The Observer). Let your imagination run wild with songs, laughs and fun for children aged 3 and up, and their adults.

"The cast of three bring the story to wonderful life... As the pattern builds and becomes increasingly familiar, the children's delight grows. This is an irresistibly charming tale told with refreshing simplicity." - The Times (London)

"This whimsical, imaginative show is pitched at just the right level for three to seven-year-olds, as well as the big ones they have brought along with them. clever storytelling... enchanting characterisation... a rare treat that really is for all the family." - The Scotsman
