The Witch Who Couldn't Sleep

The Witch Who Couldn't Sleep tickets in Aylesbury

The Witch Who Couldn't Sleep is a sing-along musical for families at the Norman Bragg Studio, Aylesbury. Based on a story from Steven Lee's collection How the Koala Learnt to Hug and Other Australian Fairytales, it follows Natascha The Witch as she tries to get to sleep, with the audience helping along the way.

The story and format

Being a witch is full of excitement, and with so much going on, Natascha simply cannot drift off. The show invites young audiences to join in, shout out, and actively help shape the story as it unfolds, making it a participatory experience rather than a passive one.

The production combines live action, music, and animation to tell its gentle, cosy tale. Families are encouraged to arrive in their favourite pyjamas to add to the bedtime feel.

Audience considerations

The show is described as gentle and heartwarming, suited to families seeking a shared, cuddly occasion. No specific age guidance or running time is listed in the available information, so it is worth checking with the Norman Bragg Studio directly before booking.
