Stage Adaptation of The Baddies to have Premiere at Royal Lyceum Theatre

The Baddies

The Baddies

A brand-new stage adaptation of THE BADDIES, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s smash-hit 2022 story, will have its world premiere at The Royal Lyceum Theatre next year, playing in Edinburgh from 4 – 20 October, with a press performance on Tuesday 8 October 2024. The Baddies will then play at the Warwick Arts Centre from 26 – 27 October, and then the Rose Theatre Kingston from 29 October – 3 November 2024 before touring the UK in 2025.

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 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.

       

2025 tour dates for The Baddies include Horsham Capitol (Wed 5 – Fri 7 February), Yvonne Arnaud (Fri 14 – Sun 16 February), Liverpool Playhouse (Tue 18 – Sat 22 February), Durham Gala (Tue 25 – Thu 27 February), Hull City Hall (Tue 11 – Wed 12 March), Lowther Pavilion (Thu 13 – Fri 14 March), Theatre Royal Winchester (Fri 21 – Sun 23 March), Tunbridge Wells Assembly Hall Theatre (Tue 1 – Thu 3 April), Coventry Albany (Tue 8 – Sun 13 April), Lowry Quays (Fri 2 – Sun 4 May), The Gaiety Theatre Ayr (Sat 10 May), Leeds Carriageworks (Fri 23 – Sun 25 May), Newbury Corn Exchange (Tue 27 – Thu 29 May), Worcester Swan (Tue 3 – Wed 4 June).

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s book has been adapted for the stage by David Greig, with direction from Katie Beard.
