The Scarecrow’s Wedding

A Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler book

Adapted for the stage by Scamp Theatre

This was our second time seeing the show

The first being a number of years ago

The show is recommended for ages 3 and up

So we did not take Edie with us

Although she loves the book

This show is a magical retelling of a lovely love story

The storyteller is the farmer who also takes on the roles of all the animals

The staging is very clever and the use of props, mostly household, objects

To bring the characters to life is inspiring

We especially loved how the the Pond was created and how it disappeared again

It was clever and really effective

William LOVED Sergeant Major Toad

I loved the cows and all the brilliant cow themed word play

I was laughing out loud throughout the show

The music in the show was amazing

Each actor played an array of instruments

They used music for the songs but also for sound effects

They had the audience clapping along right from the beginning

The singing was brilliant with lovely harmonies

This show is just bursting from start to finish with infectious energy

Real emotions and a stunning display of how music can be used to tell stories

Bea loved it all and kept telling me so all day

The joy in her face as she watched the show was magical

The Scarecrow’s Wedding has something for everyone

Go Away Crows was beautifully sung by Betty

The music was wonderful emotive folk songs and foot stomping country music

I cried actual tears at the end

I do love a wedding and this was the best wedding ever

The best wedding yet

The wedding that no one will ever forget!

At Leicester Square

And then it goes on tour!!

Please do go and see it if you get the chance

This is not a paid review

I bought our tickets

We are just huge huge fans of Scamp Theatre and this very special family show

Hurrah for Harry and Betty!

Happy wedding day!
