The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe description
If you were transported into a world of imagination as a child by the idea of Narnia you’ll adore this production, and so will the kids. Led by a seriously talented cast of actors, singers, musicians, dancers and puppeteers, the whole thing is riveting from beginning to end.
C.S Lewis’s The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe has been voted the UK’s favourite book, and this tour celebrates its 75th anniversary. You’ll meet the four children; Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter and follow them as they discover the mysterious entryway to Narnia inside a wardrobe in the remote old house where they’ve been sent to escape the bombing during the Second World War. But that’s just the beginning of their amazing adventures. Walk this way for a magical show loved by people of every age, and a theatre experience you’ll never forget.
