Took my Grandsons to see The Tiger Who Came To Tea, they are 3.5 years and 18 months. Was just the right length and the interactive elements made it more enjoyable for them. They loved the tiger!! Would highly recommend.

My 2 year old was captivated by this performance. Would definitely recommend. The theatre also handled pushchairs easily so they were put away nicely and retrieved quickly.

I’m a 76 year grandad of two young gals , and they pleaded with me to go to see the play with them , so I did . I wasn’t disappointed, I thoroughly enjoyed it and on the way home that’s all they talked about . They liked all the characters especially the Tiger .

This is a great show and has a good amount of audience participation. The songs and actions were ideal for our little one who was spellbound from start to finish. Well worth a visit

Our daughter turned 3 years old yesterday. She knew the story and enjoyed her first play at the theatre. It was really helpful to have an explanation by the cut at the start of the show and the whole audience really lit up when the tiger came on stage. All marvellous acting and the right amount of participation for the audience. Just a touch long, I would cut the car scene (which isn't in the book but well acted) to shave some time off it.

My grandchildren entranced. Funny and well presented. A good mix of story telling and songs. The audience was encouraged to participate which was nice. The tiger was humorous.

My five year old granddaughter and I really enjoyed this production of one of our favourite stories by Judith Kerr.Sophie was perfect and her mum and dad very good too. The highlight for Hazel was Sophie hugging the Tiger!!! I liked the song about sausage and chips and ice cream. Would love to see it again in a smaller theatre like the Taara arts in Earlsfield where the children can interact.
