The stage show of the book was in town so I purchased tickets to see it. I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting, I hadn't really thought about it, but it was different.
The show tells the story of a little nutbrown hare and his father going through the seasons. The narrator changes the set whilst they sleep through dance, music and singing.

Our Review of the Show
There is a lot of actions to go with the singing and this is used for audience interaction. The narrator without saying a word encourages the children to do the dance moves with the hares, unfortunately, the day we went there were not many of us so it was hard work for her to get the audience to participate.I'm not sure if they were shy, not wanting to participate or just very wrapped up in what they were watching, but halfway through the show the children started to come out of their shells a bit more and copy the hares,
My son was in awe of the whole show.
For adults, it may not be as exciting to watch, but I found myself watch my son more than the show and the love on his face as he watches his favourite characters come to life.
It's a captivating show, the music is soothing and the children will love it. It's one that you think back on as you leave and think 'That was rather lovely'.
that looks amazing! Love that story so much! x
