If you loved The Gruffalo, don't miss the sequel, which returns following previous sell-out Australian tours – now in a new West End production! Based on the best-selling, award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, this show combines physical theatre, puppetry and music to deliver laughs and scary fun.

One wild and windy night, the Gruffalo’s Child ignores her father’s warnings about the Big Bad Mouse and ventures out into the deep dark wood. After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn’t really exist after all... or does he?

A trio of bright new performers fill the forest with colourful characters and foot-tapping, sing-along songs. Audiences will be dazzled with brand new costumes when the return season entices fans with the magic of the deep dark wood.

The Australian production of The Gruffalo’s Child has attracted critical acclaim, with the Sydney Morning Herald describing it as “winningly played”, and the Courier Mail saying it “can't fail to please”.

From the team behind The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, and The 13, 26, 52, 78- and 91-Storey Treehouse series, The Gruffalo's Child is a must-see for children aged 3 and up, and their adults. Don't miss it!
