You'll believe a bed can fly! That's the promise for those heading to see
Bedknobs and Broomsticks at
The Alexandra in Birmingham from November 10 – 14, 2021.
The classic Disney film, filled with magic and fantasy, is being brought to life on stage, complete with the original songs by the legendary
Sherman Brothers . Singalong to
Portobello Road, The Age Of Not Believing and
The Beautiful Briny! There are also new tunes and additional lyrics by
Neil Bartram . The musical is co-directed by Candice Edmunds and Jamie Harrison.
So, what's it all about? 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.
