Reviews
To call this show lively would be a whopping understatement. Packed with gleeful songs and jolly good fun.
The Guardian
A delight from start to finish. A room of children laughing hysterically, all totally mesmerised by the action.
Time Out
Brings such joy to children and adults alike. The show was so captivating that no one wanted to miss a moment.
The Spy in the Stalls
The largely under five years old audience sat enraptured throughout this thoroughly jolly affair. Funny and goes straight for the inner child.
ReviewsGate
This production should have the word 'fun' stamped through it like a stick of rock. More charm than Mary Poppins teaching a kitten to cuddle a baby lamb. And like Mary, it's pretty much perfect in every way.
Camden New Journal
An hour-long feast of storytelling that thrills children and parents alike. A masterpiece.
Broadway Baby
Stitches together Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's beloved adventures with wit, innovation and endearing silliness. It may only be a tiddler, but this show has a big heart and is brimming with inventiveness.
A Younger Theatre
Mesmerising.
FEST
Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's tales are lovingly brought to life. A perfect children's show.
