Very good performance kept my three year old interested, my 2 year old fell asleep as soon as we arrived , so a waste of a ticket. Would watch it again.

This was a great show full of energy and fun with all the familiar Julia Donaldson stories and characters. My 5 year old grandson was riveted.

Really enjoyed this performance. It was the perfect length and a very talented cast who kept our little boy entertained all the way through. Just the right level of humour so that it was fun rather than cheesy and a clever mixing of the 4 tales. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely production. Great enthusiasm and my 4yo loved it. Lasts an hour so not too long for little ones. Very well translated to stage - very imaginative and creative. Very pleased we went.

What a fantastic show! My little girl is two and she couldn't take her eyes off the stage. We all had an amazing time.

We went with high expectations after seeing Stickman at Xmas and we weren't disappointed. Adults and kids all enjoyed it throughout. An easy recommendation.

Very well done production. My only slight criticism would be that the props are more suited to intimate theatre as it's hard for children so small to engage at a distance. But otherwise, great music and fab cast.

It was fab. From start to finish, the performance captivated my 3 and 5 year olds. Lots of energy, fun, singing, all accessible and great props. Thoroughly recommend it!

My 18 month old daughter loved this show. She has not stopped talking about the monkey. Booster cushions available were great as well and allowed her to have a great view and stay engaged. Performers were wonderful.

We were pleasantly surprised- it was a great fun for our 4y boy and we weren't bored at all. Acting was to a very good standard, very much on par with plays at the National Theatre.

Me and my 4 year old son had a lovely time watching this show. It was very clever how the 4 books were turned in to one performance. One of the best adaptions I have seen - much better than the gruffalo. I know my 7 year old would also have enjoyed this show. Would go and watch it again if I lived closer

Fabulous set, engaging actors, great stories extremely well put together, funny and the music really was toe tapping as advertised!! Would and have highly recommend. My 4year old daughter LOVED it!

Delightful, very inventive show - and certainly not too long, at one hour, for my nearly-five-year-old grandson, who loved it. My only quibble is being asked to get there at least 45 minutes before the start of the show in order to exchange vouchers. This wasn't at all necessary and meant my grandson (and I) had to do a lot of waiting around.

What a fantastic show! The performance the actors gave was brilliant with such imaginative use of props! Both the kids and adults loved it! Friendly and very helpful staff too, especially the guys that helped with all the buggies.

Took my 5 yr old and 2.5 yr old. Was worried my younger one wouldn't sit still and watch it but he was fine for most of it. The stories have been mixed together in a very imaginative way with Monkey Puzzle as the wraparound story. My daughter loved it. Very well acted too.

I took my 5-year-old to see Tiddler and she absolutely loved it. At just over an hour it was fantastic entertainment and she didn't get bored at any stage, which is always the sign of a good children's show. The singing, dancing and the dynamics between the three characters was brilliant. I must admit, though, I was lucky to get concession seats from a website because initially I was put off by the cost of £21 each. This may have explained why the theatre wasn't packed out on a school holiday morning. Still, kudos to all responsible for a highly enjoyable show

Imaginative, energetic, and funny. My 3 and 5 year-old girls loved it almost as much as their parents did. So much brilliantly condensed into an hour.

My 5 year old son and I had a wonderful afternoon at Leicester Square Theatre watching Tiddler and other tales. The show was captivating from start to finish and had plenty of humour for adults as well as children. The actors were so clever in how they interwove the tales. The theatre has a bar inside the auditorium selling wine, tea/coffee, soft drinks and snacks - a lovely additional touch!

Great show for kids. Bags of energy from the actors.

I have been to a few kids' theatre productions in my time and most leave me bored and constantly checking my watch. Expecting Tiddler to much the same, I could not have been more wrong. This was a truly well-put together production, with the actors putting on a rip-roaring, side-splitting performance, that kept me riveted to the end. All the adults around me appeared to be more enthralled by the performance than their kids. The best £30 I have spent on an outing in a long time. Seriously considering coming again with a troop of kids.

Utterly fantastic - kids were mesmerised and singing bits of the songs all the way home! Don't hesitate - book your tickets!

Fantastic show that had both parents and kids in stitches. Clever knitting together of the classic Donaldson stories without over styling of the set and lighting. Great direction and the actors were fantastic. Highly recommend it to anyone with pre-schoolers!

A brilliant performance and an innovative way to show Julia's stories. Well done, we had a great time!

The worst kind of bourgeois drama student improv workshop arsing about. Reminded us of Legs Akimbo. But the children were mesmerised, the bar was open, and one of our party even managed to have a nap all the way through, so we're very happy families. Cheers!

Unfortunately, we had to leave after twenty minutes, as my daughter found it 'scary.' It isn't scary at all, but it is very loud and busy so I think she was reacting to that. We tried sitting further back in the house, leaving for a break, etc. But she was adamant. We have been to other, probably quieter, theatre, so unfortunately, £26 later, we were out the door.

My 3 year old and I go to see every London show going and this was definitely one of the top ones we have bee to see. Cleverly put togther and nicely done with a great mix of acting, music, singing and story telling. Lovely actors (single mum was very happy....;)) as well.
