Here’s some of the activities taking place across the area.
9. Bedknobs & Broomsticks, Sunderland Empire, April 19 to 24
Disney’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks, a new musical based on the classic film, flies into Sunderland Empire from April 19-24. When the three orphaned Rawlins children are reluctantly evacuated from wartime London to live with the mysterious Eglantine Price, they have no idea what adventures lie ahead. Upon discovering Eglantine to be a trainee witch, they join forces to search for a secret spell that will defeat the enemy once and for all. Armed with an enchanted bedknob, a bewitched broomstick and a magical flying bed, they encounter surprising new friendships on their journey from Portobello Road to the depths of the beautiful briny sea.
