I was intrigued to see how the books would be transformed onto the stage, I did have a quick read of a few chapters of one of the books and got the gist of the main characters but you don't need to have read the books as it is a brand new story from the producers of Horrible Histories and Gangsta Granny.
The interactive set was fantastic, so engaging and cleverly done, the doodles were a big part of the scenery. The car journey was impressive!
Tom is played by Matthew Chase who brings humour to the main character and shows off his talent as lead singer of the Zombie Dogs. Matthew Gordon is best friend, Derek as well as the very comical Grandad, classmates were played by Amy Hargreaves and Ashley Cousins who also doubled up as moody sister, Delia and Granny.
The show is suitable for all ages, there was a great buzz when we left the Crewe Lyceum theatre.
There are still tickets available until Saturday 2nd March, book now to avoid disappointment
