The play is a magical musical stage adaptation of the best-selling book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler and will take audiences aboard a magnificent broom for an unforgettable adventure. Join a witch and her cat as they fly happily along on their broomstick until a stormy wind blows the witch’s hat, bow and wand away into the night. With the help of a daft dog, a beautiful bird and a friendly frog, her belongings are retrieved. But this broomstick’s not meant for five passengers and – CRACK! – it snaps in two. When a hungry dragon appears, who will save the poor witch? And will there ever be room on the broom for everyone?
