ROOM ON THE BROOM Celebrates Tenth Anniversary

TALL STORIES' hit family show "ROOM ON THE BROOM" celebrates a record-breaking year and two birthdays in 2018.

The show is currently playing at the LYRIC THEATRE, SHAFTESBURY AVENUE until 13 January 2019 and this year celebrates its tenth anniversary. "ROOM ON THE BROOM" was first performed in 2008 and continues to delight audiences in London in 2018.

"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.

The Olivier Award nominated production tells the story of a friendly witch, her cat and three loveable animals who take to the skies on a broom and face a fearsome dragon in this magical, musical adventure. With enchanting puppetry, original sing-along songs and scary fun, "Room on the Broom" is ideal for families with children aged three and up.
