Roald Dahl would be so proud of this production - it really feels like a lot of love and thought went into it. There are some differences to the novel (which is always risky) but they work so well, and really make the stage version stand out. Absolutely love the Alphabet song (showing off Tim Minchin's talents) and Miss Trunchbull is spectacular - for once, I had no desire to "boo" the villain. The show got a thoroughly-deserved standing ovation last night. I hardly ever watch shows twice, but this is a HUGE exception!

Amazing show! Great music, great sets AMAZING cast and is one show that will appeal to all. Suitable not only for kids but adults too! A must see!

The production values are some of the best I have ever seen. The songs are laugh out load funny; Tim Minchin manages to inject his humour without the rudeness. The musical follows the book closely enough that Roald Dahl fans will not be disappointed, though there are a few adaptation to make it work on the stage! A brilliant production that will appeal to all ages, I went with a friend to see the production in Stratford and we were both entertained and amused all the way though. We had some 5 year old sat behind us who, by the sounds of it, thought it was the funniest thing they had ever seen! I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.
