The Baddies
Meet the very worst Baddies in the world! Don’t you dare to come too close to a witch, a troll and an ancient ghost!
About The Baddies
Based on the book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
They're funny... they're silly... and they're really, really bad
The Baddies love being bad. They roar, spook and cast wicked spells to try and scare a girl out of her wits…who will succeed? Or perhaps the girl is braver than they think…
With songs by Joe Stilgoe (Zog and Zog and The Flying Doctors), The Baddies is a wickedly hilarious adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s smash-hit story. A laugh-out-loud riot for all the family.
Most suitable for 3+ but all ages welcome.
