My granddaughters absolutely loved the show, the involvment, element of surprise, the songs to sing a long with, perfect timing and great seats.
It was our first time visiting the theatre & the show. The performance was amazing. Telling the story was great. The colours of their suits & stage was beautiful. The repetition of telling the story & songs. The tiger was very polite & funny. All actors deserve multiple awards. Very good language used for kids. The interaction with the audience was nice.
