"Stunning performance. Kids and adults in our group enjoyed the show. Although the outdoor performance was amazing, provision for inclimate weather would be great."

"Having never been to the National Childrens Theatre before, I was really excited for my first show there. I took my just-about 3 year-old son along. There is ample parking, a lovely premises and an atmosphere that nourishes and awakens imagination - there was even a little white rabbit hopping about on the lawn around the back of the building! The show was outside and just fantastic. I enjoyed every minute. My son was perhaps a little too young to fully engage throughout but he totally enjoyed the music and the performers were really able to bring the characters to life. The young performers are exceptionally talented and have truly world-class performances! I’ll definitely be back at NCT soon! PS: Also appreciated the clean and accessible toilets"
