Room On The Broom Tickets

The West End theatre scene is ageless and timeless, and there’s something special for young theatre lovers too with Room On The Broom. It’s a funny, silly and highly entertaining show for children by the creators of The Gruffalo, the wonderful Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

Room On The Broom Description

A seasonal treat for kids – It’s Room On The Broom!

Room On The Broom returns to London’s glittering West End from November 2012, originally a popular children’s book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, the writing team behind The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child.

Julia Donaldson is also the creator of children’s favourites A Squash and a Squeeze, Monkey Puzzle and Taby McTat. Axel Scheffler has illustrated several of Donaldson’s books as well as countless other kids’ classics across Europe and beyond. Together they create hilarious, endearing and unforgettable characters that youngsters find thrilling, inspirational and very, very funny.

Room On The Broom - The story

Meet the witch and her cat, the stars of the show, who are eventually joined by a dog, a bird and a frog in a series of unexpected adventures that take place when the witch’s hat, wand and bow are blown away by a howling gale. She’s determined to get them back. After all, what is a witch without her pointy hat? And so begins a wacky tale packed with giggles and excitement, perfect for children and full of wonderfully colourful characters. It even includes a dragon!

Will there be room on the broom for everyone? There’s only one way to find out…

Room on the Broom


Very enjoyable for my 3 grandchildren, aged between 8 and 5. I was worried it would be too young for the older ones, but they loved it.


Jenny

Entertaining, well acted and not too long


Took 2 of my children aged 3 and 6 to see the show and they both loved it, especially being fans of the book. The show is about an hour long, which is just right for kids I feel. The cast are very interactive, playing hide and seek in the audience before the show started. Very personable people and the use of puppets for some of the animals was excellent. Despite misgivings beforehand I found myself focussing on the puppets and not the people operating them. Entertaining and full of laughs for children and adults, even I thoroughly enjoyed this outing. Very well done and high praises for a wonderful afternoon out for the children, bringing the story to life with songs, music and great acting!

sandra

Great shows for kiddies!! they loved it!! just need a high seat for the toddlers


performance great, but teather not! children paid as adults and finish seating in the parents laps because they can see!! its not fair


Isabel

Thought the show was very bland in every way. Set design very dull too


Thought the show was very poor - we went to see The Snowman last year which was excellent. We were expecting the same standard. Very poor on every level.
