With many thanks to CDP presents Tall Stories’ magical musical adaptation of
The Gruffalo’s Child
WE HAVE 8 TICKETS TO GIVE AWAY!
Based on the award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, published by Macmillan Children’s Books,
THE GRUFFALO IS RETURNING TO MELBOURNE – WITH HIS CHILD!
After sell-out seasons of its predecessor nation-wide, the team behind “The Gruffalo” return with the charming sequel based on Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s world wide best seller, playing at the National Theatre, St Kilda from 14-19 July 2015.
The Gruffalo said that no Gruffalo should
Ever set foot in the deep dark wood…
But one wild and windy night the Gruffalo’s child ignores her father’s warning and tiptoes out into the snow. After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn’t really exist… does he?
The Gruffalo’s Childbrings this much loved book to life on stage, using physical theatre, music and puppetry to deliver songs, laughs and scary fun for children aged 4 and up and their adults.
This best selling production, which has wowed audiences around the world, returns to Melbourne for one week only after a sold out premiere season in 2012.
Critics have raved about The Gruffalo’s Child:
“winningly played” (Sydney Morning Herald)
“can’t fail to please” (Brisbane Courier Mail)
“…this brave little offspring of the Gruffalo captures the young audience and keeps it entranced….” (Stage Whispers)

We LOVE Hi-5 in the Kidding Around Australia house. As an infant (don’t judge, she RARELY slept) Alegría would watch the Hi-5 gang and I would get some peace! We watched them on TV, we bought the DVD’s and clothes, we went to the concerts … even Alegría’s second birthday was a Hi-5 themed party!
We are eagerly awaiting the Hi-5 presents House of Dreams Australian Tour this June and July school holidays from June 28 to July 15 when they visit Melbourne (and Sydney, Brisbane and Perth).
So, imagine the delight when Hi-5 sent Alegría and Isaac a merchandise pack! The pack included a bag, DVD (thank you for some peace Hi-5!), sticker, bath tablets, poster, hand shaped clapper (the children thank you Hi-5, the Mumma? Not so much!) and photo card.
Alegría and Isaac loved the pack so much that we asked our friends at Hi-5 if we could give three (3) away to our readers and they said yes!
