Room on the Broom
Based on the much-loved book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
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!

Not like the story and really not very good. The people were great but it was dragged out and boring.

I took my 5 year old grandson and from start to finish he was totally involved - as was I. The cast were brilliant and made every character come to life. Excellent show for young and old

We really enjoyed this show. It was funny, interesting and audience catching. We really enjoyed the songs and the puppets were fantastic.

Both my children and I really enjoyed the show. It respects the original story with lots of funny addition. It is really a lot of fun and even as an adult I really enjoyed it.

It was a great show. My 7 yr old enjoyed it a lot. My 7 yr old and and myself will happily happily attend again and again. Great effort from the staff outside checking us in quickly, the staff indoors was helpful too. And the actors did superb engaging the audience always. The only thing was the level of noise was louder than that of the actors, so it was hard. The main character's microphone (the witch) was not clear at times so even I as an adult struggled to hear and understand.

Disappointing, mediocre show. The dragon’s outfit wasn’t worthy of an entertainer at a kids party. No stars

I went with my 6 year old who adores Julia Donaldson. The production was so beautifully put together, from acting, to props, engaging with kids to incorporating some jokes for the parents to enjoy. My little one and I had a smile on for the entire show. My only constructive feedback is that obviously it was a noisy performance with kids chatting etc, but I personally found it really hard to hear the dog and frog as either the actor's mic wasnt working properly or his voice just didnt carry through the auditorium well enough (same actor played both dog and frog)

It was so noisy with babies wailing and screaming that we couldn’t hear anything. It was a very unpleasant experience for us and our children. The theater should consider a minimum age (3 years or 4 years minimum) to make it enjoyable for the children who can follow along.

My 6 and 5 year old boys absolutely loved it, and they particularly liked the dog! A very clever and imaginative telling of the story, the grandparents also thoroughly enjoyed it! Booster seats were provided, which meant the boys could see much more than they otherwise might have done (our seats were quite far back). It’s worth bearing in mind that as it is a children’s performance, there is a lot of noisy fidgeting and rustling (as you would expect!) so children with sensory issues might find it a bit overwhelming

I took my daughter (4) and her non-English speaker grandmother (65) to the show and we all had a great time. The actors were enthusiastic and very engaging, the story was well written and adapted onto stage and the puppets were so sweet that each of us found a favourite one among them. Well recommended!

First time taking my 3yo to the theatre and he was transfixed for much of the play which was good. However, the play itself could have been better - it seemed really chaotic and hard for toddlers to follow. It also wasn't loud enough to hear properly at the back. The organisation re parking buggies before the show was totally chaotic and ridiculous. It meant that many people were late to the show and were coming in and finding their seats for the first 10-15mins which was very disruptive. As the buggy parking was so chaotic and caused people to be late, our party felt the show time should have been delayed.

Really good adaptation from the book, good use of music and characters to keep it fast paced and interesting for target audience.

The began 5 minutes late with the audience still filling in and getting seated. I missed a small portion of an one hour show. The sound was not fantastic sitting in row U. Overall I didn’t think it was very good performance.

As a family we are huge fans of Julia Donaldson and her stories. We were very excited to visit London and watch room on the broom. My 2 and a half year old was mesmerised. Excellent production, funny parts for adults and an overall enjoyable experience. Can’t wait to see others
