Stick Man is heading to the Bloomsbury Theatre in London and The Lowry in Salford this Christmas!
Based on the much-loved book by Julia Donaldson (The Gruffalo, Zog) with illustrations by Axel Scheffler, this smash-hit adaptation of Stick Man will play simultaneously at The Lowry Salford 10 December to 5 Jan, and at its new London home, the Bloomsbury Theatre 4 December to 5 January 2025. See here for Stick Man tickets in London.
This much-loved adaptation from Freckle Productions, the team behind Zog and Zog and the Flying Doctors, features a trio of top actors and is packed full of puppetry, songs, live music and funky moves. Casting for both venues will be announced later this year.
Executive producer Jennifer Sutherland said, “We are so excited that our beloved Stick Man – a perennial festive family favourite – will have sit down seasons in two major cities this Christmas. After twelve years at the Leicester Square Theatre, we’re so excited to move to a new London home at the Bloomsbury Theatre. We are working with a brilliant team – designer Katie Sykes, lighting designer El Higgins and director Mark Kane to add even more sparkle and beauty to the show in this jewel of a theatre in London’s West End and at the superb Quays Theatre at The Lowry Salford.”
Stick Man is directed by Mark Kane with original direction by Sally Cookson (A Monster Calls), design by Katie Sykes (Jane Eyre), lighting by Elanor Higgins (Private Peaceful) music by Benji Bower (A Monster Calls) and musical direction by Brian Hargreaves.
