Grandparents love taking children to see Mountains on the Moon. It's a local “Lion King”
​“A feast for the ears as well as the eyes, the show boasts cheery music and song - more than one of them could play an instrument - and lots of laughs too as the animals reveal their foibles and cook up ever more hare-brained schemes to bring back the rain.”
- Stephanie Billen, Buxton Festival Marketing Officer
Review The Mountains of the Moon

November 2024

We took our granddaughter who is 4 to see the performance on Sat 2nd November at Whittington Moor Methodist Church. We were not sure if she would sit quietly for an hour but we need not have worried. From the very first moment she was entranced and enthralled.

The play was very interactive, well written with lovely charactisation throughout. The story was clear, topical and easily understood. Full of humour, music and poignant moments. A moral message which we could all relate to and was very thought provoking. Each of the animal characters had their own distinct personalities and foibles. Our Granddaughters favourite was the monkey. She has not stopped making monkey noises since.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the ticket price was affordable for families. We would recommend this play.
