Gruffalo Tickets

It was splending! Just Brilliant and heart warming

I was disappointed with Gruffalo . My grandson is 3.5 years and knows the story inside out and he could not work out who the mouse or fox was. Gruffalo was dressed in a feathery outfit and was not depicted how I would have thought he should have been. There were some children in a gruffalo outfit and they did a much better job. All in all very disappointed. With the additional person on stage also it was very confusing for my little one. Price paid did not match the show.

This was our 3 year olds first show and it couldn’t have been better. The actors were just fab - so expressive, talented and engaging. Really brought the story to life. Thank you so much!!

The show was not as engaging for the little ones as some of the other Julia Donaldson adaptations we have seen (such as Zog and the Flying Doctors). The actors were great but some of the songs and scenes were too long and too repetitive. Given the price of the tickets, this was quite disappointing. The Lyrics theatre also has to figure out a better system for handling customers with buggies - people had to take stairs 2 levels down to drop their buggies off and then queue to pick them up, while going up and down the stairs - not ideal with little ones getting impatient. Other theatres often have staff members taking these buggies at the entrance to hand them over at the end.

Very entertaining for children, but for the younger child, more definitive animals costumes would have been helpful (eg) the snake was difficult to see as a snake, it would help the younger child contextualise without detracting for the older if perhaps more of the specific animal characteristics were visual. Very good though????

We had such a great time. My partner and I took our 3 year for his birthday (6th September) and we all loved the show. The actors brought the story to life and also added some great humour for the adults. We would recommend this show to any gruffalo fans and their parents. Massive credit to the three actors and the whole production. Thanks for making our sons birthday extra special.

Very entertaining for the children, plus they put in some adult humour in. Was a very good show and would see another

Fantastic show for the little ones. Took my Granddaughter, she started off a little nervous but once the show started she loved it and joined in with the 'roaring', clapping and dancing. Cast were brilliant, how they managed to concentrate with all the background going on is amazing. Would definitely recommend.

The quality of the performances were great, but I thought the content was not matched well to the children’s developmental stage or interests. It was to aimed at amusing the parents and less at the children’s interest, script was too wordy and convoluted and fast and the songs were too long and advanced. It seemed to be more aimed at 7/8 year olds who are no longer interested in the gruffalo and needed to be more specifically for 3/4 year olds who have just fallen in love with the story.

Very well done show. The performers were great - entertaining and engaging.

Great actors and just the right length. We had good seats. The arrangements with a buggy and an 18 month old really did not work for parents. Having to fold outside on a busy dangerous road and collect from lots of stairs down was a nightmare but everything else good

Awful even the costume was bad
