A fantastic performance, my daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We hope there will be other theatre shows based on books by Jacqueline Wilson! My 7 and 9 year old daughters are absolutely hooked!
Very intimate theatre & our two children, aged 11 & 6, were enthralled from beginning to end. We were seated in the Upper Circle seat nos. 12-15 inclusive & felt as though we had the best seats in the house, given the elevated scenes. It was our first London show & we would definitely contemplate returning for future productions.
I took my niece to see Hetty Feather as she is a fan and thought that it was quite enjoyable. My niece enjoyed it which was the main thing!
A fantastic, imaginative show. My 9 year old daughter and I were spellbound!
A brilliant and innovative production of this book by Jacqueline Wilson. For such a small cast, with a limited number of props/staging, the play was captivating and totally engaging.
Both myself and my children really enjoyed the production.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable production.. Even though only six actors each played a variety of parts which were so clever. They used to stage to good effect and we also saw some acrobatics we were not expecting. The audience was full of kids who were enthralled by the performance. Hettly and Gideon were my favourites. Matron was a demon!
Superb, imaginative staging and slick performances bring the story to life. Great for children who have read the book and plenty of breathtaking acrobatics for those who have not.
Really liked the show, tickets pricey, however.
Tremendously enjoyable. Very creative staging, well acted with plenty of energy. The children (two girls age 9) loved it.
My daughter and I loved this show! The live music was wonderful, with very talented musicians and great songs. The actors, multi-skilled, gave an amazing performance on all fronts. Great physical theatre with a moving tale that left us uplifted and enthralled.
Absolute delight.The cast were amazing and such a fantastic show.My 9 year old daughter loved every second as did I.
