THE GRUFFALO

THE GRUFFALO

The magical musical adaption of the award winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, published by Macmillan Children’s Books

"A mouse took a stroll through the deep, dark wood ..."

After sellout seasons throughout the world including the West End and Broadway, the Gruffalo comes to New Zealand for the first time!

Whether their favourite food is roasted fox, owl ice cream, scrambled snake or Gruffalo crumble, audiences eat up this delectable tale about the adventures of a clever little mouse in a forest full of predators. Join Mouse on an adventurous journey through the deep, dark wood in this big scary monster of a show.

Mouse can scare hungry animals away with tall stories of the terrifying Gruffalo, but what happens when she comes face to face with the very creature she imagined?

Let your imagination run wild with songs, laughs and fun for children aged 3 and up, and their adults.

“the cast of three bring the story to wonderful life... This is an irresistibly charming tale told with refreshing simplicity”

The Times (London)

“funny, charming and smart... brings the house down”
