The play/musical version kept close to Judith Kerr’s story. The repetition and audience participation was necessary for such a young audience to keep them interested and involved. We would have liked the tiger to have a voice rather than improvise. My three year old got involved with shouting and got more out of it than the two year old who watched from start to finish without a sound! I bought ten tickets in total for two different dates. The first we couldn’t make because of flight delays so it was rather expensive. I felt there should have been some concessions.

The show was slow and a bit boring. We were disappointed that the Robbie Williams song was not included which would have made it much more fun.

I took my 3 year old niece on a raining Thursday morning - she loved it! Play is entertaining, nonstop fun and short so the kids enjoy it without getting fussy.

My daughter loved the show and we thought it was very enjoyable. One comment I would make is that the tiger was making some very inappropriate and uncomfortable body movements. Many parents in the audience were looking at each other in confusion. It would also be better if the tiger could talk.

This was a very enjoyable play set at the right age group of children. Beautifully acted and was enjoyed by my grand daughter. My grandchild had so much fun participating and laughter so much. The actors were very good and told the play well. Money worth spending.

This ia a highly enjoyable adaptation of such a well loved story. It was the appropriate length of time to meet the needs of the young audience, with costumes, scripts , props and songs that kept my little one enthralled. The audience participation meant that the whole family was catered for. I would definitely recommend it!

I took my granddaughter to the show Sunday 17th July, the book is a family favourite and she loves it too! She didn’t know she was going there.. I kept the surprise right up until we reached the theatre. And going by her reaction it was magical, entertaining, fun, she loved it & still is wondering where all the food & drink the tiger consumed went! The cast were absolutely fantastic Well done to everyone involved x
