About The Gruffalo Stage Show
Join Mouse as she heads into the woods searching for hazelnuts. Along the way, she runs into the eccentric Owl, cunning Fox and sneaky Snake. They’re all hungry and Mouse is the perfect size for their dinner plates! Quick-thinking Mouse distracts them with a tale about the fearsome Gruffalo… but is he just a product of her imagination, or is he real?
The Gruffalo has delivered just the right amount of scares for 25 years and is the most beloved of former Children’s Laureate Julia Donaldson’s creations. With its instantly recognisable illustrations from Axel Scheffler, this award-winning picture book is a modern classic, featuring an eclectic cast of woodland creatures and a small but plucky protagonist. Millions of children have enjoyed it read aloud as a bedtime story or seen it on the television - but this musical adaptation brings it to life in a whole new way!
