The Birmingham Stage Company have brought two new shows to the stage; Groovy Greeks and Incredible Invaders and last night was the first night of the Horrible Histories tour in Norwich. Molly, Charlie and I went along to watch Incredible Invaders.
It's a fast-paced, funny and raucous trip through a thousand years of ancient history involving the Romans, Saxons and Vikings including some wonderfully catchy songs, one of the elements we love most about Horrible Histories. The small cast play a number of historical figures throughout the show, including Boudicca, Alfred The Great and William The Conqueror, but shining out for us was Hannah Boyce who played Mavis. Her singing voice was sublime.
Thrown in were plenty of in-jokes for the adults and some incredible 3D Bogglevision effects. I won't spoil the surprises but there were a few that had us screaming and jumping out of our seats!
I asked Molly and Charlie what they thought and they said it was 'awesome, epic, and really funny'. We all agreed that the 3D Bogglevision was most definitely the highlight.
This is one show for all of the family to enjoy and it brings history to life in such a fun way that it grabs childrens' interest and they don't realise it's educational.
They're on stage in Norwich until Sunday 26th April before heading off to Derby. Get your tickets now as they're selling fast. Tickets can be booked by calling the Box Office on 01603 630000 or by visiting the Norwich Theatre Royal
