The Gruffalo
Company: Christine Dunstan Productions and Tall Stories.
Venue: The Seymour Centre, Chippendale, Sydney
Dates: 28 June – 10 July 2010
There’s no such thing as a Gruffalo, is there?
Come
along if you please this show can’t be missed
Ages 3 and up will love every minute, I insist
Until 10 July at the Seymour Centre
Kids shall be entertained by a magical inventor
The characters to be seen are a real big treat
Singing and dancing will have every kid up on their feet
The stage will be set; Fox, Snake and Owl have been invited
With crazy characters like these who could not be excited
As the storybook goes, a Gruffalo is to be met
He’s very hard to find so you might have to inspect
There’s no need to worry, you won’t be alone
I hear a little mouse is willing to chaperone
Crystal Hegedis plays the timid little Mouse
In order to find some food she has left her house
The day that ensues is highly unexpected
A flaw she once feared is masterfully perfected
Now before you enter the deep dark wood
There are a few things that must be understood
The Gruffalo in question might not be very friendly
The attire he fashions is anything but trendy
As the little mouse warns, you have to beware
He has lots features that are most likely to scare
Stephen Anderson plays the Fox, the Owl and the Snake
Entertaining audiences with a growl, a hoot and a shake
If the simple mention of the Gruffalo can scare him up a
tree
What do you think it will do to kids over 3?
The grizzly Gruffalo played by Simon van der Stap
Is sure to lure all the kids into his dark beastly trap
Is he real or imaginary this illusive Gruffalo?
If you don’t come and see you may never know
So do yourself a favour and bring the kids along
Choosing a show like this will do you no wrong.
