TALL STORIES' magical, musical stage adaptation of THE GRUFFALO returns for a sixth sensational West End season, making it a firm favourite and the perfect festive treat for the whole family at the LYRIC THEATRE, SHAFTESBURY AVENUE from Wednesday 20 November 2013 to Sunday 12 January 2014. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast onstage below!

Join Mouse on a daring adventure through the deep dark wood - in the search for hazelnuts - as she meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the party mad Snake, and outwits them all with the story of the fabled Gruffalo. Armed with only a nut map and a little courage Mouse must make sure she doesn't end up as dinner for these wily woodland creatures! The perfect combination of music, laughter, physical theatre and just the right touch of scary fun, THE GRUFFALO is the must see family show for lovers of the timeless story and everyone looking for a smashing day out!

TALL STORIES' hit musical adaptation of the award winning picture book THE GRUFFALO, the modern classic, by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler is set to a wonderfully catchy musical score with original songs. This enchanting production continues to entertain audiences worldwide, bringing everyone's favourite furry monster to life, live on stage.
