The Art House Presents
CDP & Tall Stories’ magical musical adaptation of
The Gruffalo’s Child
Adapted from the award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
Published by Macmillan Children’s Books

The Gruffalo said that no Gruffalo should
Ever set foot in the deep dark wood…

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

Join the Gruffalo’s Child on her adventurous mission in this magical musical adaptation of the much-loved picture book. If you loved The Gruffalo, don't miss the sequel, returning to The Art House following previous sell-out Australian tours and a new West End production!

The team behind The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and The 13-, 26-, 52-, 78- & 91-Storey Treehouses return with The Gruffalo's Child, bringing together physical theatre, music and puppetry to deliver songs, laughs and scary fun for kids aged 3 and up!

“...this brave little offspring of the Gruffalo captures the young audience and keeps it entranced… plenty of audience involvement to keep the kids active and engaged....”
- (Stage Whispers)
