The Three Billy Goats Gruff {Giveaway}

A new month and a new play awaits!

If you enjoyed Goldilocks and the Three Bears 金发姑娘和三只熊 by the good folks of SRT and you’re wondering what’s next, well, you’re in for a treat because here come The Three Billy Goats Gruff!

By the same creative team who brought you The Three Little Pigs a couple of years back and Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Billy Goats Gruff is the third and final instalment of the trio-series fairy tales.

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?

The tale of the Three Billy Goats Gruff is one of my personal favourites, simply because it is one of the earliest stories I remember my parents reading to me as a child. Having previously heard rave reviews for The Three Little Pigs, and having watched Goldilocks and the Three Bears, I know that The Three Billy Goats Gruff is going to be good with award-winning West-End musical theatre songwriting duo George Stiles and Anthony Drewe behind it.

In fact, I’m actually really really certain this “rock-n-troll” musical is going to be a real hit with adults and kids alike because we recently had the opportunity to meet George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, and watch a little preview of the upcoming show! When we first filed into the rehearsal studio, some of the kids were a little wary. What was going on and were we going to be meeting a big bad troll? Their concerns faded away when the trip-trapping trio took to the stage and quickly turned into delight when the three billy goats gruff started dancing and singing. Noey was bouncing along and couldn’t help tapping to the beat with them. The songs were catchy and the dialogue kept all of us laughing. I think we were all a little disappointed when the preview came to an end and Noey immediately told me he couldn’t wait to catch the rest of it. Guess what kiddo, I feel the same way!

The Three Billy Goats Gruff opens on 2 Apr 2015 at the DBS Arts Centre and it looks to be a great show for the whole family. Don’t miss it!
