STICK MAN
Touching, funny and utterly original, Freckle Productions’ delightful adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s Stick Man is back in town!
What starts off as a morning jog becomes quite the misadventure for Stick Man: a dog wants to play fetch with him, a swan builds a nest with him, and he even ends up on a fire! How will Stick Man ever get back to the family tree?
This award-winning production, from the team behind Zog, Tiddler and other Terrific Tales, and Tabby McTat features a trio of top actors and is packed full of puppetry, songs, live music and funky moves.

My 3 years old daughter enjoyed the show
Was absolutely amazing!
The stick man was too small and I think it’s hard to see it from the back seat. There were efforts made to ensure that children would not get bored.The costume of the dog looked like normal clothes and it didn’t seem like dog. I understand that the price is cheap, but I wish they would spend a little more on the set overall.
It was so interactive, kids loved it.
Amazing performance, my 2 year old son absolutely loved it.
Incredible performance of the Stick Man, fun for the family
Fantastic show, my son and I really enjoyed it!
Was brilliant and interactive!
It was not an immersive experience, with a low-quality setting, a boring plot interpretation, and actors not puppets acting.
We thought the show was ok, no real scenography they only used a few props for each scene, the actors where great but show overall was a bit disappointing, wouldn't hurry back...
The show itself was so beautifully done- really imaginative and perfect for all ages! Very gentle and feel-good! The service at the theatre was incredible- shout out to the two people helping us store our buggy and giving us booster cushions

Bloomsbury Theatre - Best Seats and Seating Plan
The Bloomsbury Theatre originally opened in 1968 as the Central Collegiate Building Auditorium, located within the prestigious University College London (UCL). In 1982, the venue was renamed The Bloomsbury Theatre to reflect its location in the Bloomsbury area. From 2001 to 2008, it was known as The UCL Bloomsbury Theatre, aligning with the university's branding. Over the years, the theatre has hosted a variety of notable performers, including Adele, who held her first solo concert there in 2008, along with other stars like Ricky Gervais and Paul Simon.
What are the best seats at the Bloomsbury Theatre?
The Bloomsbury Theatre seating is divided into the Circle and Stalls, with additional seats on the Gallery slips at either side. For a closer view of the stage and action, the Stalls are ideal, offering clear sightlines. The Circle, located at the back, provides better value for those who still want to enjoy a good view of the stage and feel connected to the performance. The two seats on the slips at the sides are perfect for those seeking proximity to the stage.
