A truest brilliant kids show and so like the book. Best Julia Donaldson adaptation I’ve seen!
Great show, lovely staff
From the moment we laid eyes on the stunning set we were immersed! The cast bring to life this beautiful tale in the most clever and creative way! Our first family West End experience will stay with us forever!!
Brilliant show. My nephew (4) loved the book and was very excited when I surprised him with the tickets. He sat from beginning to end mesmerised with the stage and acting. I thought the show was very age appropriate, and cleverly thought out with the staging and costumes. I will definitely look to book more tall stories productions.
We loved it! Very entertaining and kept the kids engaged throughout the whole play!
Brilliant performance! My 4 year old and I loved it!
Amazing show
We took and 3 and 6 year old and both loved the performance.
Great show and enthusiastic actors :)
Brilliant children’s theatre and thank goodness it was uncommercial and gimmicky. My 4 year old grandson loved it!
My daughter loved it
Fantastic performance! Would love to see it again. But avoid taking a pram if you can - the Lyric theatre cloakroom situation is a nightmare
