Tall Stories presents a new UK tour of ‘Room on the Broom’ Live On Stage – a magical, musical broomstick ride where a kind witch discovers there’s always room for one more friend.
Tall Stories’ fun-filled ‘Room on the Broom’ Live on Stage is based on the much-loved picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, featuring a kind witch, a cat and some animal hitchhikers. This new UK-wide tour, including a West End Christmas run, brings the picture book to life through Tall Stories’ unique musical storytelling theatre, inspiring imaginations.
Room on the Broom centres around kindness and friendship. Beneath the fun of the rhymes, the story celebrates togetherness and the magic of helping one another, no matter how crowded things get.
A kind witch and her cat are flying through the sky on their broomstick when, one by one, some very insistent hitchhikers – a friendly dog, a beautiful green bird and a frantic frog – hop aboard. Brought to life with Tall Stories’ irresistible songs, dancing, puppetry and stage magic, the adventure builds to a gloriously chaotic, dragon-dodging finale. Fast-paced, full of surprises and bursting with energy, the whole audience is swept up in the singing, silliness and laughter.
Room on the Broom Live On Stage is directed by Olivia Jacobs, designed by Morgan Large, with puppet design by Yvonne Stone, lighting design by James Whiteside, choreography by Morag Cross and music composed by Jon Fiber and Andy Shaw.
Toby Mitchell, Artistic Director and Co-founder of Tall Stories, said: “It’s so exciting to invite families all across the UK to hop on board the broom, for another magical adventure! At Tall Stories, we believe that theatre is a chance to put a pause on life and step into another world. Our shows spark the imagination so that children and their grown-ups can be silly, play, laugh and believe that everything is possible. Off we go with an Iggety, Ziggety, Zaggety, ZOOM!”
