The curtain will raise on theatre and musicals in Newcastle in 2021! Bedknob and Broomsticks: The Magical Musical at Theatre Royal, Newcastle from Saturday 14 - Saturday 21 August 2021 with evening (7.30pm) and matinee performances.
You're invited to enter a world of magic and fantasy as Disney’s classic movie Bedknobs & Broomsticks makes its world premiere at Newcastle Theatre Royal as an exciting new musical. This will be a super family-friendly day out in Newcastle or a great way to relive the joy of live theatre once again!
Get ready to sing along to the original songs by the legendary Sherman Brothers (Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), including Portobello Road, The Age Of Not Believing, The Beautiful Briny, and new music and lyrics by Neil Bartram and book by Brian Hill; Bedknobs and Broomsticks will be brought to life by award-winning theatre-makers Candice Edmunds and Jamie Harrison.
When the three orphaned Rawlins children are reluctantly evacuated from wartime London to live with the mysterious Eglantine Price, they have no idea what adventures lie ahead. Upon discovering Eglantine to be a trainee witch, they join forces to search for a secret spell that will defeat the enemy once and for all. Armed with an enchanted bedknob, a bewitched broomstick and a magical flying bed, they encounter surprising new friendships on their journey from Portobello Road to the depths of the beautiful briny sea.
Don't miss the magical new musical when it flies into Newcastle-Upon-Tyne for 9 performances only during the summer.
