The show, based on Julia Donaldson's book with illustrations by Axel Scheffler, will be performed in two cities at the same time this Christmas, including London.

Stick Man will return to its new London home at the Bloomsbury Theatre from 4 December 2025 to 4 January 2026.
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.
Stick Man follows a stick who gets separated from his family and embarks on an adventurous journey to find his way home. Along the way, he faces various challenges as people and animals mistake him for an ordinary stick, but with a little help, he finally reunites with his loved ones just in time for Christmas.
The production is directed by Mark Kane with original direction by Sally Cookson (A Monster Calls, Old Vic Theatre), design by Katie Sykes (Jane Eyre, National Theatre), lighting by Elanor Higgins (Private Peaceful, UK Tour) music by Benji Bower (A Monster Calls, Old Vic Theatre) and musical direction by Brian Hargreaves.
Casting for the London run will be announced later this year.
