Approximate Running Times: Duration 55 mins CDP presents Tall Stories' production of ROOM ON THE BROOM adapted from the award winning picture book by Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler, published by Macmillan Children's books. How the cat purred and how the witch grinned, As they sat on their broomstick and flew through the wind... The witch and her cat are flying happily on their broomstick - until a stormy wind blows away the witch's hat, bow and wand. A helpful dog, bird and frog find the witch's lost things, and they all hop on the broom for a ride. But this broomstick's not meant for five and - CRACK - the broom snaps in two! When a hungry dragon appears, who will save the poor witch? And will there ever be room on the broom for everyone? Following sell-out seasons across Australia, the team behind The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child return with songs, laughs and scary fun for children aged 3 and up - and their grown-ups...

Running Times:* Doors - 7:45pm Start - 8:30pm Finish - 9:00pm *Times are approximate & subject to change. To celebrate 30 Years of the Festival, we are introducing two unique new runway concepts on our much-anticipated opening night. In direct contrast to the Joywear Runway at 6.45pm, the Melbourne Noir Runway is rooted in the city's fashion psyche, where black is more than a colour; it's a cultural signature. Do Melbournians only wear black? We're playing into the stereotype. Known as one of the world's entire capitals, Melbourne adopted the all-black look as it's unofficial uniform in the 80s and it has become synonymous with our galleries, laneways and unpredictable weather. Proving that boldness doesn't require colour, expect sculptural silhouettes, interesting textures and shadowy drama in this ode to Melbourne's enduring love affair with black. The very first night of our Premium Runway Series, this runway is not to be missed. .
