Room on the Broom by Tall Stories

Review: Room on the Broom at The Atkinson, Southport 

Wonderful witches, dragons chasing through the audience, talking cats, great songs and superb puppetry – who wouldn’t love Room on the Broom by Tall Stories? 

I’m not talking about the scores of kids in the audience last night – I’m talking about the grown-ups! 

This was roaringly good fun for a packed audience at The Atkinson in Southport yesterday afternoon (Friday 11 November 2022) on the day’s second showing, with a third performance due today (Saturday). 

It wouldn’t surprise me if there weren’t a few heading back for more. 

It was great to come out of the performance to see recordings and books available. 

Top quality children’s theatre like this is a wonderful way of firing up children’s imaginations, encouraging them to read and getting them talking about what they’ve seen. 

It wasn’t necessarily good in my case. After asking my youngest daughter if there was any room for me to fly on a broom with her, she told me: “No, Dad – your bum’s too big to fit on”…

The play is based on the best-selling book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. 

It’s a brilliant book, which our two girls have read many times. This production really does it justice. 

It allows the audience to jump on board the broom with the witch and her cat as they travel to 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!

This magical Olivier Award-nominated show is suitable for everyone aged 3 and up.

The adults were howling with laughter and singing along with the songs just as loud as the children. 

All four performers were superb, carrying the show all the way through with energy, humour, warmth and skill. 

There was great interaction all the way through, keeping the audience involved as the story unfolded. 

My daughters, aged 6 and 11 years old, loved the hilarious puppets, the superb songs, and seeing one of their favourite stories come to life on stage. 

It was a magical evening out at The Atkinson, which stages some superb children’s theatre and other attractions throughout the year. 

There is lots to enjoy with their current Egypt Month for example, the Festive Fun Day on 19th November, the Aladdin and Snow White pantomimes and much more too. 

Room on the Broom was a thoroughly enjoyable show, enjoyed by myself, my wife, and my two daughters – fantastic family fun.

    Hey there this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for your article. I have always noticed that many people are desperate to lose weight since they wish to appear slim along with attractive. Nevertheless, they do not usually realize that there are more benefits just for losing weight additionally. Doctors claim that obese people come across a variety of disorders that can be perfectely attributed to their excess weight. The great news is that people who are overweight as well as suffering from numerous diseases are able to reduce the severity of their particular illnesses by means of losing weight. It is possible to see a steady but marked improvement with health if even a negligible amount of losing weight is achieved.

    I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

    Thanks for making me to attain new strategies about computers. I also possess the belief that certain of the best ways to keep your notebook in prime condition has been a hard plastic-type material case, or perhaps shell, that matches over the top of the computer. These types of protective gear tend to be model specific since they are made to fit perfectly within the natural covering. You can buy them directly from the owner, or via third party places if they are readily available for your laptop, however don’t assume all laptop may have a spend on the market. Just as before, thanks for your tips.

    I’d also like to say that most people who find themselves without health insurance are usually students, self-employed and people who are unemployed. More than half on the uninsured are really under the age of 35. They do not think they are looking for health insurance since they’re young and healthy. Its income is frequently spent on houses, food, along with entertainment. Some people that do work either complete or in their free time are not presented insurance by their work so they move without as a result of rising tariff of health insurance in the us. Thanks for the tips you share through your blog.

    Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

    I have really learned new things from the blog post. One other thing to I have seen is that in most cases, FSBO sellers are going to reject an individual. Remember, they might prefer to not ever use your providers. But if anyone maintain a gradual, professional connection, offering help and keeping contact for four to five weeks, you will usually have the ability to win a business interview. From there, a listing follows. Thanks
