Review: GALLUS IN WEEGIELAND, Tron Theatre
by Natalie O'Donoghue - Nov 22, 2025
The West End is in crisis. Our beloved Gallus has their ballet exam today and can’t remember the difference between good toes and naughty toes. Then, to make matters worse, their best pal Dinah The Cat (if a feline bezzie is good enough for Taylor it’s good enough for Gallus) has vanished. So Gallus decides to skip their dance exam and go searching for Dinah down that mysterious-looking pothole, finding themselves in a land full of mystery and wonder.
