The Gruffalo
Tall Stories’ much-loved magical, musical adaptation of the classic picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler returns by popular demand, celebrating the show’s 25th anniversary.
On a daring adventure in search of hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the high-spirited Snake. Will the story of the terrifying Gruffalo save Mouse from ending up as dinner for these hungry woodland creatures? After all, there’s no such thing as a Gruffalo – is there?
Songs, laughs and mischievous fun for children aged 3 and up and their grown-ups, from Tall Stories, creators of imaginative storytelling theatre, where everything is possible.
At the Lyric Theatre in London’s West End, The Gruffalo is a family show based on the much-loved picture book, created for younger audiences.
The show is a popular choice for families planning a West End theatre visit together. Book The Gruffalo direct with Nimax Theatres via the Lyric Theatre Box Office for official tickets, no booking fees, and options for groups, schools and access customers.
