Take a stroll with the youngsters to Baycourt next week and let them feast on the evergreen adventure story, The Gruffalo.

Whether their favourite food is roasted fox, owl icecream, scrambled snake or Gruffalo crumble, youngsters eat up this delectable tale about the adventures of a clever little mouse in a forest full of predators.

The book is one of children's most loved, and the show features songs, laughs, and fun for those aged three years and above.

Join Mouse on an adventurous journey through the deep dark wood in this big scary monster of a show. Mouse can scare away hungry animals with tall stories of the terrifying Gruffalo, but what happens when she comes face to face with the very creature she imagined?

Sold out on the West End and Broadway, The Gruffalo returns to New Zealand touring to 19 centres during its tour.

The stage show features an all New Zealand cast with Josh Cramond as the Gruffalo, while Kalyani Nagarajan plays Mouse and Cole Jenkins plays all the predators - Fox, Owl and Snake.
