My granddaughter, aged 8, always loved the tv show so was thrilled to see it live on stage.
It really was funny, although it managed to be instructive too regarding UK history - I found I learnt stuff I didn't know too!
It went along at breakneck speed too, lots of gags - both visual & spoken.
Performers were excellent & the songs very clever. We both loved this show!!

Little disappointed if I'm honest. While what we saw was enjoyable it was not what we expected. Two people (who did a good job) changing clothes in front of you! We traveled quite a distance for 1hour and 15minutes of what was basically panto style entertainment.

Excellent stage show for all HH fans. Took my 11 year old along to this and had a ball. I actually learned more from it than I did at school :) we'll definitely be keeping our eyes open for other productions.

The kids had so much fun with this show, and hats off to the two performers it was non-stop. Though it only lasted an hour and 10 mins. I thought it was a bit pricey for the length and none of the TV cast were on-stage. It was like watching two kids playing dress-up but knowing a lot about the history of Britain. They sang songs and told stories and even parodied some adult game shows, like Who wants to be a Millionaire and Take Me Out.

The theatre itself was cramped though, seats were so close together the guy sitting in the seat in front of me had his head between my knees!

I took my sons (8 and 6) to this show about the Terrible tudors and they were both spellbound from the first minute. The first half was very entertaining with possible the two funniest bits of stage theatre I have seen in a long time (King Henry VIII wooing Anne Boleyn and the Spanish kind describing how his Armada will attack England). The second half was in 3D and I think my two enjoyed this more (especially the floating skulls) although I felt it was the weakest part of the performance. Some great songs to sing along to, and a bit of learning along the way.

This was much more than I expected, both myself and the kids thoroughly enjoyed this, so much so that we wouldn't mind going to see Vile Victorians...the cast were great actors and the 3D part of the show was very enjoyable although at one point it got a little bit too scary for my eight year who was sat there covering his eyes! We really enjoyed singing the song about Henry the Eighth's wive's - divorced, beheaded, died.....and am pleased to say our half of the theatre won the singing contest during this song. I would definitely recommend this show.

Not quite what my 8 year old son expected as it's more about the actors than the props, but there's no doubt they worked really hard to engage the audience.

We went with very keen 'horrible history' fans aged 8 and 10.It was funny with only 2 actors in the show, there was good audience interaction. There are some similiar songs like the TV show but it is not like the show and there are only aspects of the TV show which are used.

Very entertaining - took my 12 year old daughter + 3 friends. Liked the way they used modern examples e.g. Masterchef and The Apprentice and applied them to history. Only criticism was that they overdid the hanging a bit at times! Garrick Theatre were very helpful when my daughter's friend left her purse there. Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived!

Horrible Histories was great fun to watch. However towards the end story got too serious (Baby Farmer) and children in the audience were clearly uncomfortable. Both actors are great and very much all rounders so play has some great songs and very interesting facts. Staff in the Garrick is very polite and made us super welcome unlike in some other London venues.

The children, aged 10 and 8, both enjoy the TV program so thought it would be good to take them to the show. It was an enjoyable show with the three of us joining in the songs and enjoying the story telling of the two actors.

It started a great day out and would happily go and see other Horrible History productions.

Totally fab. If you only see one show this year, then make sure it is Horrible Histories-Barmy britain.
It is not the same as the TV show, but is none the worse for that.
My children loved it and learned a lot!!. I absolutely loved it and laughed all the way through.
A great show for all the family. Brilliant!
