The Gruffalo theatre

Conceived in 1999 and premiering in 2001, Tall Stories’ magical, musical adaptation of the award-winning picture book has toured the UK, Europe, North America, Asia and Australia – including runs in London’s West End, on Broadway and at Sydney Opera House. The London Times reviewed it as "irresistibly charming".

Tall Stories’ adaptation of the sequel to The Gruffalo was created in 2005 and has also toured the UK, the West End and the world (including another trip to Sydney Opera House), receiving four-star reviews in Time Out, the Evening Standard and the Scotsman (among others). Songs, laughs and slightly scary fun for the whole family.

Premiering in 2008, Tall Stories’ follow-up to its two Gruffalo shows has flown around the world (including London's West End and Sydney Opera House), enchanting children and adults alike. The Sunday Times described it as "55 minutes of high-energy treat" and in 2013 the show was nominated for a prestigious Olivier Award.

Tall Stories (creators of the Gruffalo and Room on the Broom stage shows) are proud to present their latest exciting collaboration with Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

A tiny snail longs to see the world, so she hitches a lift on the tail of a humpback whale. But when the whale gets beached, how will the snail save him? Follow the tiny snail’s amazing journey, as seen through the eyes of an adventurous young girl and her seafaring father… 

Storytelling, live music and lots of laughs, in a show for everyone aged 4 and up.

A Fantastick show for all branches of the family tree!

Touching, funny and utterly original, this delightful adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's hugely popular children's book Stick Man features a trio of top actors and is packed full of puppetry, songs, live music and funky moves.

'Stick Man lives in the family tree 

With his Stick Lady Love
