Tall Stories’ Olivier Award-Nominated ‘Room On The Broom’ Has Flown Into The Lyric Theatre This Christmas From 22 November 2024 – 5 January 2025
‘Iggety ziggety zaggety zoom!’
Tall Stories is delighted to announce that the company’s Olivier Award-nominated adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s classic picture book, directed by Olivia Jacobs, will be flying into the West End this Christmas as part of a major UK tour this autumn enchanting everyone aged 3 and upwards. Jump on board the broom with the witch and her cat in this fun-filled magical musical adaptation. Room on the Broom will run at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue from 22 November 2024 – 5 January 2025.
The witch and her cat are travelling on their broomstick when they pick up some hitch-hikers – a friendly dog, a beautiful green bird and a frantic frog. But this broomstick’s not meant for five and – CRACK – it snaps in two… just as the hungry dragon appears! Will there ever be room on the broom for everyone?
With enchanting puppetry, sing-a-long songs and hilarious fun, ‘Room on the Broom’ is an ideal family treat and a magical introduction to theatre for young children.
Acclaimed theatre company Tall Stories is renowned for its joyful, fun-filled productions for family audiences that have toured all over the world. The company’s adaptations of the best-selling picture books by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler have included productions of ‘The Gruffalo’, ‘The Smeds and The Smoos’, ‘The Snail and the Whale’ and ‘The Gruffalo’s Child’.
