Room On The Broom UK Tour continues in 2020 as it continues into its 10th year. Based on Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's award-winning children's book, the show is produced by Tall Stories.

Room On The Broom UK Tour

Jump on board the broom with the witch and her cat in Tall Stories’ fun-filled adaptation of Room on the Broom, the best-selling picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

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? Find out in the magical Olivier Award-nominated show for everyone aged 3 and up.

“Room on the Broom” is produced and created by the critically acclaimed theatre company Tall Stories. The company was founded by Artistic Directors Olivia Jacobs and Toby Mitchell in 1997 and this year, celebrates its 21st birthday. Tall Stories previous productions include, “The Gruffalo”, “The Gruffalo’s Child”, “Emily Brown and The Thing”, “The Snail and The Whale” and “The Snow Dragon”.

For “Room on the Broom” the creative team includes director Olivia Jacobs, associate director (current cast) Sam Conway), creative producer Toby Mitchell, designer Morgan Large, puppet designer Yvonne Stone, composers Jon Fiber & Andy Shaw (Jolly Good Tunes) and lighting designer James Whiteside.
