Room on the Broom, the best-selling picture

The witch and her cat are travelling on their

– 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!
Will there ever be room on the broom for
everyone? Find out in the magical Olivier
Award nominated show for everyone aged
3 and up.
We take great care in compiling the listings,
