The show fizzes from the start, as our ex-U.S. Army variety act Bob and Phil (Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye in the film version) meet showgirl sisters Judy and Betty.
Any new show from Les Enfants Terribles arrives with high expectations. Their hugely imaginative approach to theatre has seen them take wellknown children's tales and turn them into immersive promenade adventures like the deliciously gruesome (and gruesomely delicious) Dinner With The Twits and 2015’s twisted fantasy Alice Underground which is being revived next year.
The House with Chicken Legs is still one of the most intriguing and original children’s productions on the London stage this season and well worth checking out.
