Synopsis

The Three Billy Goats Gruff  (affectionately known as "Baby", "Middle" and "Big") graze happily together with their caretaker, Little Bo-Frilly.

But one day, it dawns on them that they are in the middle of a horrible drought. As the grounds turn a dreadful shade of brown, they are slowly but surely running out food.
Together, the gang makes the decision to cross a bridge to the other side of the valley, where lush green grass awaits. 
 
Unfortunately, below the bridge lives a frightening troll that *gulp* loves to feast on goats! Can they outsmart the monstrous, greedy troll in this fight for survival? 

Step into the magical, fairytale world of The Three Billy Goats Gruff - a musical that is guaranteed to be snortingly silly and full of giggles.
Featuring music and lyrics by the Laurence Olivier award-winning West-End musical theatre songwriting duo George Stiles and Anthony Drewe (Honk! and Mary Poppins).
