The Witch Who Couldn’t Sleep By Steven Lee
A “Story Time” family musical from the creators of There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly and A Big Egg.
Being a witch is super exciting. There’s always so much to do and so much fun to be had – especially during the holidays!
And maybe that’s why Natascha The Witch can’t sleep…
Can anyone, or anything, help her drift off?
Based on a story from Steven Lee’s best selling “How The Koala Learnt To Hug and Other Australian Fairytales” this gentle, heartwarming show is just what you need to enjoy a cosy, cuddly
time together with your family. Children get to join in, shout out, and help shape the story as it unfolds.
So pop on your favourite pyjamas and come join us for this enchanting sing-along musical presented with a magical mixture of live action, music and animation.
Perfect for ages 2-102!

So amazing! Brilliant mixture of storytelling and animation and music
