What is Room on the Broom Live about?

Join a kind-hearted witch and her loyal cat as they soar through the skies on their broomstick. Along the way, the witch keeps losing important belongings, from her hat to her wand. Luckily, a series of helpful animals come to the rescue.

As more and more friends climb aboard, the broom becomes crowded and eventually snaps in two. Just when things couldn't get any more dramatic, a hungry dragon appears and the witch must rely on her new companions for help.

Filled with catchy songs, puppetry, physical comedy and plenty of audience interaction, this enchanting adaptation captures all the charm and humour of the much-loved picture book.

Adapted by Tall Stories, the award-winning company behind The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo's Child, The Smeds and The Smoos and The Snail and the Whale, Room on the Broom Live has delighted audiences around the world.

Since its stage debut, the production has become one of the UK's most popular children's theatre shows, earning an Olivier Award nomination and glowing reviews from critics and families alike.
