A wonderful show for our 3 year old and I liked how interactive it was without any pressure. The production and venue were amazing \nOur six year old grandson loved it\, particularly the dialgoue between audience and actors. \nThe show was lovely. I thought the audience participation elements were particularly successful and really helped keep the children interested.\nBoth performers were really strong and made the children laugh/engaged them really well. It felt like there were more than 2 performing!\nLoved the creative costumes and props.\nThe lights and special effects (snow was magic!) were great and really added interest for the little ones.\nMy child has been calling me ‘mummy-duck’ and quacking all the way home. Fair to say the show was a hit! \nIt was great. Best Christmas show we’ve seen this year \nThe show was excellent!! It was welcoming\, fun and engaging. My four-year-old son really enjoyed it – he was giggling throughout and kept looking at me with a big smile. I know the show was for aged 2+ but my nine-month-old baby was really engaged with much of it as well\, especially when the little ducks popped up over the washing line. I thought the audience participation was done really well too…really inclusive but no pressure for the children to ‘perform’. It was a lovely Christmas treat. \nthe show was delightful. my 4 year old grandson really enjoyed himself. I was particularly impressed by the way the actors involved every child as soon as we walked into the theatre. \nFantastic show! Really interactive and accessible. My 2 year old was really captivated by the story. The participation really engaged her. The show was pitched perfectly to the age group. \nIt was a beautiful\, joyful show\, perfectly pitched for the audience\, and a perfect introduction to the magical world of theatre. Great performances\, and lovely characters. \nReally engaging\, inclusive\, clear\, welcoming\, creative and lovely!
