The production will run at Cadogan Hall from the 1st to the 24th August.
It has been announced that the stage production of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s smash-hit 2022 story, which has been embarking on a UK tour, will be heading to London’s Cadogan Hall for a summer residency.
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! The Baddies love being bad. They roar, spook and cast spells to try and scare a girl out of her wits…who will succeed? Or perhaps the girl is braver than they think…
The show is directed and choreographed by Katie Beard, with songs by Joe Stilgoe (Zog and The Flying Doctors). It has been adapted for the stage by David Greig and Jackie Crichton.
Full casting for the London run has yet to be announced.
The Baddies has set and costume design by Jasmine Swan, lighting design by Simon Hayes, fight direction by Carlotta De Gregori from RC Annie and puppetry from Edie Edmundsen. Alongside sound design from Richard Brooks, is musical direction from Paul Herbert, Heather Scott Martin as associate choreographer, and Cleo McCabe as costume supervisor and Craig Fleming as production manager. The stage management team consists of technical SM [lighting] Anna Eagle and CSM Jack Sheffield.
Talking about the production , Julia Donaldson said: “I am delighted that The Baddies has been brought so wickedly to life on stage! It is wonderful to be working once again with Freckle Productions, who’ve done such fun and inventive things with Zog and Stick Man and my other characters over the years, and I’m particularly happy that Joe Stilgoe, with his gift for catchy tunes and clever lyrics, has written the songs for the show. This is a great night at the theatre for kids of all ages.”
