Well Christmas is nearly over, but the season week still continues - as are we - with already sell out houses at Trafalgar over the past week and pretty much sold out for the next week or so to come. We have had some press to see the show - some liked, others not so sure. And we still await a few more reviews to come out - so fingers crossed.
Below are some reviews from various sites and audience feedback we have found on the web:
“ … funny and exhilarating … it is as dark and fruity as a Christmas cake with nuts on top … if you have any Lemony Snicket fans of seven or over at home, it would make a great, off-the-wall choice of outing … Gothic tales given Pythonesque revue treatment.” Rogues and Vagabonds
" ... energetic, effervescent, hugely entertaining ... another fantastically memorable production. You don’t have to be a fairytale fan to appreciate the fact that Grimms is a Christmas cracker brimming over with delightful surprises." Extra Extra
" ... a refreshing take on the average Christmas show ... a mysterious mix of the world's most loved folk tales ... If your kids are over six, put a couple of tickets in Santa's sack this Christmas and give them a bit of gift-wrapped culture. If you don't have kids, go anyway - it beats many of the big budget shows on the West End hands, and puppet strings down." SEATwave
And some customer reviews:
Excellent Show I just wanted to say this wonderful cast who all play music, dance, mime, act, sing and beautiful production and I do not go to the theatre that regularly...took me on a journey through twisting and twisted stories that made me laugh so much I was in tears at some points. However the irony is that the fairytales seemed to reassure me even more about the general wierdness that is life. I would heartly recommend this to everyone. I can't imagine someone not enjoying this show and the only sad thing is if it REALLY is the LAST Chapter. Sophia
I went to see the piece in wimbledon on the 13the dec. And i was pleasantly supprised. It was in a small venue and there where about 20 people of all ages in the tiny "new wimbledon studio". People on the front row seats sat almost on the stage and in the action so it was a very intimate and personal experience. It might be a good idea for parents of young children to prepeare them for this, so that they understand it is only makebelieve. Because althoug there is no real gore or blood and most of the stories are told as a humorous fairytale, a lot of people die in these tales. After the first death one of the youngest children got so overwelmed by it all that she started crying seeming to think that it was all happening for real. From what I could see the rest of the children and audience enjoyed themselves though. Dirk
This show is terrific. I had no idea what to expect because there were no reviews so I'm taking it upon myself to say this piece of theatre with it's excellent cast pretty much encapsulates all I could hope for from a stage production; it made me laugh, think, imagine, and travel to a far away place which is exactly where I wanted to be taken. So thank you and if it is the Final Chapter then it is a great great loss. So please see this lovely production. Highly Recommended
