The Gruffalo Reviews

Paul king from London,

GRUFFALO

very poor production, none of the characters resembled what they were supposed to be . a brown mouse should be in a brown costume , not a black leotard and pink ears .you wouldnt even know it was supposed to have been a fox on stage . the gruffalo costume was so bad that my grandaughter asked me when the gruffalo was coming on ! overall very poor, a waste of money

James Pearce from London,

A POOR ADAPTION

Frankly, I would have given this 0 stars but I'm trying to retain a sense of Christmas cheer. This really was dreadful. My 4 year old fell asleep and 6 year old (thankfully) asked to leave after 30 minutes. The initial excitement of being at the Theatre was knocked out of the kids after the first 5 minutes by the terrible costumes and the overly elaborate dialogue. The acting and the poorly targeted "in jokes" made me think that this was written (and acted) by a group of 18 year olds at drama school. It really is very very poor.

TRULY AWFUL

Only 3 people played all the characters. The costumes were like budget versions purchased from Amazon - looked nothing like the Gruffalo, Gruffalo's Child or snake! There was around 4 songs, which were all terrible, along with the 'singing'. It was all far too quiet. Just a dreadful production all round, done on the cheap, fleecing the punters. Not what we expected from the West End. My local Lincolnshire village put on a production like this, and certainly put more effort into the scenery. Disappointing. Would definitely not recommend.

DISAPPOINTED

Poorly cast, written and performed. Could hardly hear the dialogue Songs Immemorable. Over priced for spun out tale

SO FAR FROM JULIA DONALDSON YOU’RE IN NARNIA

What a HUGE disappointment this show was. I went with my three year old who is obsessed with anything Gruffalo related but towards the end he kept saying he wanted to go home, lacked any interest after the initial excitement of the show starting. The story has truly been lost, the costumes totally non existent, three mediocre actors take part whom don’t seem to have any mic support as parts you could hardly hear. I’m not sure what I expected coming but a man in a suit jacket trying to convince small children he’s a snake isn’t it. Came across as very amateur and I wish I could get the £75 I paid for 3 of us back!!
