The Gruffalo returns to the West End for the fifth year running this winter.

Follow the quick-thinking Mouse into the deep, dark wood in this magical and musical modern classic. Discover what happens when he comes face to face with wheeler-dealer Fox, an eccentric old Owl, a maraca-shaking Snake, and, of course, the very creature he imagined…

The Gruffalo at the Lyric theatre is suitable for children from the ages of 3 years old. Adapted from the original best-selling children’s book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler by Tall Stories theatre company, the family favourite has played all over the world since its 2001 premiere.

The Gruffalo is directed by Tall Stories duo Olivia Jacobs and Toby Mitchell and is packed full of songs, laughs and scary family fun.
