La Boite Theatre Company Presents THE GRUFFALO In Brisbane 1/11-1/29/2010

Theatre Listing: THE GRUFFALO- Let your imagination run wild with this big scary musical monster of a show! Following sell out seasons on West End and Broadway, the hit musical adaptation of the award winning picture book THE GRUFFALO comes to Brisbane 11-29 January 2010 at the Roundhouse Theatre, home of La Boite Theatre Company.

Whether their favourite food is roasted fox, owl ice cream, scrambled snake or Gruffalo crumble, audiences eat up this delectable tale about the adventures of a clever little mouse in a forest full of predators.

THE GRUFFALO follows Mouse into the deep dark wood on a lunchtime hunt for hazelnuts. Armed with just a nut map and a very vivid imagination, Mouse runs into the smirking, wheeler-dealer Fox; an eccentric, retired Woodland Air Force General Owl; and the maraca-shaking, party animal Snake. Rather than becoming the main course of their next meal, Mouse kills their appetites with stories of an imaginary monster friend. Little does this clever critter know but Mouse will have to escape the jaws of this faux protector as well. In a production that has become the toast of London's West End, Tall Stories vibrantly reinvents this delightful tale through its signature style of bold, multifaceted storytelling.

This monster of a show beautifully captures the magic of Donaldson and Scheffler's adored "modern classic" (The Observer). Your imagination will run wild with colourful characters, toe tapping sing-along songs, laughs and fun for children aged 3 and up when the Gruffalo and the Mouse commence their adventurous journey at the Roundhouse Theatre in January.

Season: 11-29 January 2010
Venue: Roundhouse Theatre, Musk Avenue, Kelvin Grove.
Tickets: $22 (adults at children's prices)
