Our little family had such a lovely time yesterday - the one hour show was perfect. The three actors were wonderful and the staging & music was so imaginative. Our 4-year old son loved it, and so did we! Thank you

I took my 4 year old as a treat. And what at treat! Absolutely charming, delightful and funny. The actors were super and really engaged with the audience, the stage props were colourful and full of imagination and the music was dance in your seat great. My little girl laughed all the way through. Absolutely thoroughly recommend and will be looking out for future scamp theatre events.

I took my 2.5 year old to see this and he loved it! He knows the book well and was really excited to see it on stage. The actors were amazing and it was only 1 hr long so kept his attention all the way through.

You had us all hooked from start to finish: 40 something!, 6 & 4. It's our favourite book and you brought it to life with panache. We all loved the stage set: the armchair was amazing, singing beautiful and atmosphere enthralling. We'll be recommending a visit to all.

I took my 4 year old granddaughter to see the show as it is her favourite book. She absolutely loved it. It was very true to the story and wonderfully performed. She particularly loved the farmer and also the audience interaction.

Dissapointing this show is not suitable for kids over 7 in my opinion . My daughter who is nine was bored alongside her friends .

I took my4 year old grandson to see the Scarecrow's Wedding when I was visiting,from Leeds.I booked the tickets online. From the beginning to the end of the show,he was spellbound.He had read the book several times and too see the characters he loves up there on the stage was magical.The show is just an hour long,which is perfect for little ones.

This was my daughters' first ever trip to the theatre and they loved it. It was a charming show with great use of music and props. Having read the book though, I was disappointed by the script . Much of the lyricism of the original rhyming verse had been lost. It felt like it took a while to get into the story and my preference would have been to have made more of the wedding at the end. I really didn't like the sequence when the toad was in a military battle firing grenades , this is definitely not in the book and isn't appropriate for small children. The sequence with the snail dragged desperately with lots of fidgeting through the theatre. Reginald Rake only appeared with fifteen minutes to go and he is the best thing about the book. Playing him as French went against the book where he is an upper-class cad, felt stereotypically dodgy and then they confused me totally by having him dress as a flamenco dancer, again not in the book.
