Family show 'Room On The Broom' flies into the West End this Christmas

Family show Room on the Broom flies into the Lyric Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue from 21st November 2012 until 13th January 2013, bringing a witch, her cat, a dragon, a few friendly animals and much more! 

Join a witch and her cat as they fly happily along on their broomstick – until a Stormy wind blows the witch’s hat, bow and wand away into the night! With the help of a daft dog, a beautiful bird and a friendly frog, her belongings are retrieved. But this broomstick’s not meant for five and – CRACK! – it snaps in two! When a hungry dragon appears, who will save the poor witch? And will there ever be room on the broom for everyone?

Tall Stories’ magical musical adaptation of the best-selling book by Children’s Laureate Julia Donaldson MBE and Axel Scheffler, takes audiences aboard a magnificent broom for an unforgettable adventure! Room on the Broom is on a UK tour this autumn, before transferring to the West End at Christmas, for the  very first time.

Room on the Broom is aimed at ages 3 – 8 years old and is the ideal introduction to theatre for pre and primary school children and their families. Expect enchanting puppetry, sing-a-long songs and hilarious fun for everyone.
