Boggis, Bunce and Bean, three greedy, smelly, horrid farmers hate the cunning Mr Fox.

  Read more …

Mr Fox is smart, clever and rather fantastic, but he doesn't realise how determined the farmers are to get revenge. Can he hatch a plan to save his family and friends? Can they outrun the diggers and outsmart the farmers?

 

Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox is family fun at its finest. A juicy tale of greed, pride and the power of friendship, this brand new musical adaptation promises a dahlicious theatrical feast with live music and songs and gloriumptious designs. A wondercrump treat for the whole family!


The critical consensus

It’s a strong cast all round who provide the audience with a great night out.

***(*)(*)Justine Blundell, Edinburgh Guide, 16/05/2017

It’s an ambitious, energetic and brilliantly shell-suited reimagining of one of the true classics of children’s literature.

****(*)Jonny Sweet, The Wee Review, 16/05/2017

It’s a gloriously fun evening, it is lacking some finesse but makes up for it with warmth, talent and zest.

***(*)(*)Dominic Corr, The Reviews Hub, 16/05/2017

I would recommend it for people who liked the book or the movie.

***(*)(*)Cora Dibdin, All Edinburgh Theatre, 17/05/2017

The children love most of it; and by the end, they’re bouncing happily along with the closing song, while the cast of foxes – plus rabbit, mouse, mole, badger and a few birds – take a well-earned bow.

***(*)(*)Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman, 20/05/2017

Musical theatre in its execution but very much Roald Dahl in its feel, this touring adaptation of Fantastic Mr Fox has plenty to please a young audience with added bonuses for grown-ups.
