The classic kids picture book has had a musical makeover, and it’s in Leeds for two days only.
Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s best-selling novel, The Gruffalo is well-known by just about every child and parent in the country, but the live version brings the mystical creature to the stage in a whole new light.
Join Mouse on a daring adventure through the deep, dark wood in Tall Stories’ reindition of the classic picture book where magic and music are all part of the storyline.

“Searching for hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the high-spirited Snake. Will the story of the terrifying Gruffalo save Mouse from ending up as dinner for these hungry woodland creatures? After all, there’s no such thing as a Gruffalo – is there?
Songs, laughs and monstrous fun for children aged 3 and up and their grown-ups, in the much-loved show that’s toured Britain and the world”.
The performance is children-friendly and those with little ones aged three and older will adore The Gruffalo in this unique setting.
Set at The Quarry inside Leeds Playhouse, this family-friendly performance is due to arrive in Leeds for one weekend only.
From Friday 29 April – Saturday 30 April, parents will have a chance to grab a seat at one of the most anticipated performances for young people at the theatre this spring.
Two performances, a matinee and evening show will be held each day at the times of 2.30pm and 4.30pm on Friday 29 April, as well as at the times of 11am and 2pm on Saturday 30 April.
After a long two years of halted and cancelled performances, the future looks much brighter for one of Leeds’ favourite theatres. The performing arts is an industry that has been hit in a way unfathomable and incomparable to most other working positions, so all tickets sold will help to reignite their livelihood once more.
