The Worst Witch Tickets

    Experience the magic of one of the most beloved stories about witches, flying brooms, and strange incantations that enthralled readers and audiences before the arrival of Harry Potter! With catchy tunes accompanying the bewitching acting of the almost all-female cast, The Worst Witch will be a show to look out for this July.

    Why Watch The Worst Witch

    Identifiable characters, a magical milieu, and a slew of well-presented scenes and musical pieces - The Worst Witch has never failed to hold its audience and make them laugh as they go on a journey with the young and clumsy Mildred Hubble. The original book that was written by Jill Murphy has sold over 5 million copies, making it a significantly successful title amongst countless other fantasy series. First published in 1974, the original eight books have stood the test of time, and have even been adapted for television series on multiple occasions in the last three decades, the most recent of which is the 2017 Netflix series starring Bella Ramsey. This adaptation for the stage includes several original songs that have come to define the series. It is directed by Theresa Heskins, who is well-known for her successful work in The Snow Queen a couple of years ago.

    The Story

    Mildred Hubble arrives at a magical training institute as the only ordinary girl. Although she is seen as an oddball amongst all the other witches, Mildred tries her best to fit in. The musical delightfully explores this strange new world from the young witch’s perspective. There are various excerpts from the original novels that are coalesced into approximately two hours of enchanting story moments. All of the beloved original characters including the envious Ethel Hallow, the relentless Miss Hardbroom, and the cunning Agatha, are brought back to life in this wonderfully rich family show.
