Stick Man
Stick Man
Touching, funny and utterly original, Freckle Productions’ delightful adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s Stick Man is back in town!
What starts off as a morning jog becomes quite the misadventure for Stick Man: a dog wants to play fetch with him, a swan builds a nest with him, and he even ends up on a fire! How will Stick Man ever get back to the family tree?
This award-winning production, from the team behind Zog, Zog and the Flying Doctors, Tiddler and other Terrific Tales, and Tabby McTat features a trio of top actors and is packed full of puppetry, songs, live music and funky moves.

Disappointed Nannie
Jan 2, 2023
Very disappointed not only didn't get to see this show as was cancelled. Due to staff sickness, very understandable. However we had already travelled to London by train with my two young grandsons (this was meant to be their Xmas present) No communication from you whatsoever.......not very happy

We received an email to inform us that the show was cancelled approx 2hrs before the start. Whilst an email is one way to communicate these issues, whilst taking a day’s leave to spend with my family I try to avoid emails, therefore we did not find out until we actually arrived at the theatre (we were not the only ones!) A text message or phone call could have been a lot more effective. Following this, even though this is ‘their industry’ they were so unhelpful in helping us find another show for the same afternoon.. poor effort. Day ruined, cost us a small fortune on just getting to London. I accept staff / actors get sick, but as a production team, their lack of reaction to their problem ruined our trip.

The show was dreadful from start to finish. Our 2 ½ year old showed little interest but for the two adults present it was absolutely dire.

Very very simple performance- expected a little more. Was ‘fine’ for my 3 year old. He wasn’t blown away! Not worth the money in my opinion.

Very basic performance , overpriced for what it is. Kids were happy to watch but at places didn’t understand what was going on … costumes and story line could have been better…

Absolutely loved it. So much talent hard work and a lovely toddler friendly vibe. Our little one was scared at the prospect of Santa Claus and asked to go home within the first 2 minutes but was slowly but surely won over. By the end she happily pronounced "And Santa Claus was friendly! Bye bye Stickman and Lady Love" Vote of confidence from a 2 year old I think! Thanks

The show itself was great but there was way too much imaginary for my toddler (3 years). I would say you’d need to be about 8-10 to grasp this, but an 8-10 year old would not want to watch the stick man. Therefore I am really unsure who this was designed for from an audience perspective.

Our whole family were captivated from the very start. Absolutely brilliantly worked, clever, funny and highly entertaining. Our 5 year old was transfixed the whole time and our 2 year old enjoyed it too. Personally the best children's theatre show we've seen.

The show was FAB! I was worried my extremely energetic 3 1/2 year old would struggle to sit through but he was captivated. The cast were great and i really enjoyed it too! Would highly recommend

Went with my 2.5 yrs old child. The lovely small theatre that you can see the whole stage from any seats. There are lots of cushions you can put on the seat for your little ones. I collected tickets at the box office and could enter in 30 mins before the show. Staffs helped me with bringing my buggy downstairs and kept it until we left. The toilets were small but clean enough and there was a nappy changing facility. As for the show itself, I would recommend 3+ yrs old children who completely understand the original story of Stick Man. The show was beautiful and so interactive that most children didn't get bored at all. Unfortunately, for my child who had read the book several times, the show was quite difficult to understand what was happening as it was not puppet show but three actors played both stick family and other animals by themselves. My child was a little bit scared of the actress who played the dog. Overall it was a nice experience for both me and my child.

Fantastic. The three actors and actresses were engaging and smiled throughout. Thoroughly enjoyable My toddler. 30month old loved it. Loved the lights on the ceiling and in the auditorium during the show. The appearance of Santa was a lovely surprise too. 5 stars. Perfect length of show too.

I was very impressed with Stick Man. True to the story. My granddaughters, 5 & 3 really enjoyed it & the 5 year old particularly was fully engaged. My husband was not quite sure what to expect but he enjoyed it immensely as did I. The actors were great & really seemed to be enjoying themselves. I would quite happily go again, even minus children!

Bought tickets for my 2 year old and niece 3 year old. They were captivated from the start and didn’t move until the end. It’s very clever how the story is told and the audience participation was brilliant too. So please we booked it, would highly recommend

A friend and I went with our boys (3yrs old and 2yrs old). We noticed some school groups were there too on the same day. The cast of three were very talented with their singing, dancing and acting. Our boys were engaged the whole time, as were all the different ages in the audience! The actors interacted with the audience, and the costumes, set, props etc were great throughout Whilst going through the original Stick Man story, there were also some 'inbetween' bits that weren't part of the story, that although we're entertaining, on occasions lasted a little too long before the next part of the story. We had a lovely time and would definitely recommend to others.

My little lad and I had an amazing time in this quaint theater. It was such a lovely rendition of one of his favourite books told in the most warm and beautiful way. I loved watching his face light up as he laughed. What a lovely memory to have! The staff on the door, box office, bar and around the theater were all super friendly and smiling. We loved the whole experience! Our only one complaint was not being able to purchase a cd of the music from the show. But overall I would for sure recommend it to anyone who's young ones love the book!

I went with my 2 year old, 4 year old and my husband on Sunday and we all loved it. The energy in the performance was amazing. My kids loved Santa 🎅 appearing at the end and he hasn’t stopped talking about it. Well done all

We were not sure what to expect from the translation of the much loves stick man cartoon into a play with real people, but we were absolutely delighted by the experience. All three of the talented actors were completely brilliant, in terms of acting, musical and vocal ability. We took three young children to see it aged between two and seven and all were equally entranced, as were the adults. Having seen it once, I’m tempted to book it again right away.

Crisp, fresh, visual, musical, funny - only 55 mins long perfect for very young audience, our three (6,4,2) were enthralled, and loved the audience participation .... such a talented cast ....a definite must.
