Last week we were lucky enough to be invited* to see 'Where Is Peter Rabbit?' at Theatre Royal Haymarket in London. We went with my sister, mum, niece Mia (6), nephew Gabriel (2) and of course Oliver. We were intrigued to see how engaging the show was across different ages. Gabriel in particular had never been to the theatre.
We opted to go on the underground and walk from Leicester Square, which is about 5 minutes from the theatre. That was perfect as we were a bit worried about trekking around London with two children and a toddler.
The show itself was a retelling of the traditional Beatrix Potter's tales, using a mix of puppets and live actors. Without spoiling anything, Oliver particularly enjoyed the scenes with Mr. McGregor. All of the children loved it and we didn't hear a peep from them throughout the performance, even Gabriel who we were concerned wouldn't sit through it. At the end they all said they wanted to watch it again! I would definitely recommend the show to anyone who is looking for a fun, sweet Easter performance during the holidays.
'Where Is Peter Rabbit?' is on at the Theatre Royal Haymarket until Sunday 25th April.
*we received the tickets free of charge but all opinions are my own, as always.
